When doing a full size quilt on a conventional sewing machine is it easier to quilt by moving fabric backwards or starting at the top and going down. Which way is it easier to see where you are going? Do you limit yourself to a 6" path or 12" or just play it by ear.
Also when echo quilting is there any foot in particular that would help to keep a quarter inch away from a design. I use a horseshoe shaped hopping foot but my stitches are herky-jerky. Would a big foot help with that. If so, I'll buy one pronto.
This is the greatest board for learning things -- I spend so much time learning that I run out of doing time. I just discovered I can go into the pictures log and investigate what all I have missed in the past. Thanks to all..........
