Default This seems to be working for me

I am quilting on my Christmas table runner this week & am really enjoying it & liking how it is turning out. I got it sandwiched together yesterday & am quilting today. Well, I've always heard that you are suppose to look at where you are GOING and not where you are SEWING so today I decided to try that. It's so hard for my eyes to get off of the needle but I took a couple of stitches (looking at needle) & then looked about an inch or two in front of the needle (where is was going) as I sewed. It really seems to be making a hugh difference in my stitch in the ditch quilting. I'm going to continue with this method until my eyes just automatically fall a little ways in front. I seem to have to stop & take more "eye rest breaks" but I think I can eventually make this into a habit.
