Can you give me a step-by-step guide to free motion quilting?

1. Gather the supplies needed for quilting
 • a quilting frame, batting, backing fabric, quilting needle, and thread.
2. Set up the quilting frame and assemble the three components of the quilt
 • the top layer, batting and backing
 • on top of the frame.
3. Use safety pins to affix the quilt layers together and secure them to the frame.
4. Pick out a design to quilt
 • it could be a large motif that covers most of the quilt, or small motifs that are spaced out.
5. Thread a quilting needle with the appropriate thread and free motion quilt over your chosen design.
6. Regularly check the tension of the quilting thread for the best results.
7. Once you have finished quilting, remove the safety pins and take apart the quilt from the frame.
