Okay I read this somewhere on this site before I started FMQing. I tried FMQing with traditional machine placement, but I was always running out of room for my right hand and could only do small (close togther) designs, since I was limited on the movement of my right hand. So I thought I would try turning the left side to face me.
I LOVE IT! It gave me totally free areas to move the quilt when I needed. I mean it made a difference to where I wouldn't FMQ anymore if I couldn't do it this way. I will tell you that on my machine I had to put a book under the front and raise the machine so that I could see what I was doing, but really it works like a dream.
If you need help with this just shoot me a pm.
and if you haven't already tried it, give it a whirl!
