Someone on one of the quilting machine yahoo groups had suggested using one of those head lamps ON your machine - you just wrap it around the neck.
I have to admit that I have yet to make friends with my quilting frame but I will - very soon. I've gotten closer as I just bought two sheets to practice on. I figured I would make some quilted material then use it for something down the road.... I am hoping to learn it quickly as I chose to skip the hand work and go to robotic quilting. I know, I know.. cheater cheater. Buuut I know me. If it doesn't look perfect from the get go I will get very discouraged I'm sure. I am sure I will try fmq once I get a few projects done though...
