(Kenmore Elite, all I could afford then and can not afford a new one).Am trying to hand quilt one. But do you think that I could FMG on the other one with the machine turned? And how do you machine piece with the machine turned and get the seams straight? H ave never quilted before and have never seen it done or even seen a long-arm machine. :?
I set the machine up like this only for free motion quilting. I have a cutout in my table (which on the pictures is hidden by the foamboard) that I put my machine in for everything else. If your machine does allow FMQ, I don't see why you can't turn it like I do. Give it a try!
