i have one too. i start out first row left to right. second row right to left. and so on. it still feels different right to left after all this time, though. but it keeps the fabric from shifting to the right, or in any one direction.
Only having tried one in a quilt show, it occurrs to me that you can quilt from both sides of the frame, can't you? That is if the machine has handles on both ends. So couldn't one just walk round to the 'other' side of the frame?
if you do feathers or any other design that goes in many directions, then you're going in 4 directions. how can anyone say any differently?
