When I quilt I always have a small piece with the same fabric, batting and backing as the quilt I'm working on. I use it to get my tension right in the first instance, then as a warm up piece to get my hands and eye in when I've been away from the machine overnight or for a day or two and I also use it for a little while each time I oil the machine. I need to know that if I have over oiled the quilt won't pick it up but I am willing to sacrifice my sample.

That was the 'practicing' I was talking about! Really wonderful stuff.
