That way my right hand lies on the quilted area and I don't rub off the markings with my hand. When you reach the corner motiv you also quilt it and then go on with the next white area.
Does that make sense for you? :)
YES! Very clear! I normally work with a lap hoop also, but in this case is the quilt is too big and I put it on a 'home made frame", (an old table), But I can always work clockwise !

Thank you!
