ok, so i've taken the 'advanced machine quilting class' and i'm ready to go. i'm doing much better at free motion, but lately i've been trying to 'stitch on the lines' after marking with a stencil.

trouble is, most of the time i can't see where i'm going and i end up way off of the mark. hope this is making sense.

are there any tips or tricks for staying 'on the line'? my current project is a lap quilt so it's not like i can turn it to go with the flow of the design. i'm following the direction of the little arrows shown on the stencil label. i'm using the air soluble marking pen (purple) which is working out pretty good.

i just bought some new stencils at Hancock Fabrics for a couple more projects, so i hope i can get the hang of it!
