Hi, I'm still fairly new to quilting, and a while ago I wrote here about what a hard time I had learning to FMQ. Since I had such trouble maneuvering the quilt in my throat space, I got the idea to turn the machine by 90 degrees so the space left and right of the needle would be completely free to move the quilt. In addition to that, I made a construction out of foamboard to bring the area around the machine up to the same height. The block is covered with a transparent laminate which makes the fabric glide really easy. I'm telling you, I've been quilting happily ever since! Here are some pictures
