i have heard of doing it this way before but have not tried doing this yet but it is on my list of things to try,but i still have a question, when doing it tis way you will have bunching as it comes out of the machine with little space between the needle and the arm part of the machine, instead of flowing out the back of the machine and on to the table behind the machine when doing it with quilt in the regular way, maybe i just need to sit and viualize it !!!
