Free-motion stitching

My mother in law bought me a free-motion foot for my sewing machine this Christmas.  

I have been intending to have a play for ages, and had made a sewing machine cover that needed quilting, so figured today was the day to see what it/I could do!

The results:







The verdict: 
It's a lot trickier than I expected.  I have no idea how fast/slow to stitch or how fast/slow to move my fabric, and I kept trying to keep just moving the fabric through front to back and then remembering I could move it any direction!  I would need a LOT more practice before using this on a precious quilt, but I had fun today and my machine cover looks rather snazzy!
