THe quilt police weren't at your house. They were at mine trying to decide my penalty for breaking so many rules. I was fighting with a Dear Jane block all evening.
I gave up on SID because I can't stay in the ditch. I have a SID foot it helps but I still wobble. As some have already said I do better with an open toe foot, I can see where I am going better. I also have an Ott light and a small bright bendable light stuck to my machine. I just had an eye exam last week and the Opthomologist told me readers are actually better to sew with than my prescription glasses. If i want to SID I use my serpentine stitch and stitch along the ditch. Looks much better. I also find I can see better if I have my chair a little higher to FMQ.
