I have the floor Q snap frame and I quilt from right to left as much as possible and then change my position as needed. I leave the thread end hanging to pick up later as I sit on the sides of the frame next. I can quilt quite well going away from myself using my thumb (with a thimble)on the eye end on the needle and my Peter pointer finger smoothing the fabric towards the needle tip. It is just the reverse finger position of my regular quilting stitching.
