I'm working on learning to quilt in all directions- I can do left to right (I'm left handed) and towards myself fine, I do ok with away from myself but it is a little difficult for me, and can't quilt from right to left at all. Can't even figure out how you do that! lol
To quilt right to left you would use your thumb. I could go any direction once I learned to quilt with both a finger and my thumb.
So do you also wear a thimble on your thumb? I'm assuming you're pushing the needle through with your thumb...
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I guess I just really need to do some more experimenting!
