Hahaaa. I don't think I move my head around, but when I was a kid, the Catholic church started up with the Lay Eucharistic Ministers and my mom got involved. And every time she gave someone communion, she opened her mouth wide, like she was feeding a baby.
I wouldn't quilt in private. Just go with it! Show no shame! You are a quilter, darn it, and no one can tell you how to do it.
