I saw a you-tube video of a lady that turns the machine 90 degrees to quilt. I keep meaning to try it but forget. I agree -- you just need to try different things and find what works for you :)
I got a Flynn Frame awhile back -- It definitely helped me get started in free motion quilting but I quickly found the quilting area to be too restrictive. It helped me realize that many of my quilting problems were related to basting. I've finally made the just to FMQ without it.
I'll have to try out the gloves. I know people who love the Quilting Halo -- I personally didn't like it. I do use the FreeMotionSlider tho and like it.
