This way I could clearly see what I had already quilted so I didn't have to worry about crossing lines, etc. After I tried this, it was so easy that I got the feeling that I have to be the last quilter on earth to figure this out.

Oh yeah, it saves your back because you aren't hunching to see where you are going. I finished two projects this week by FMQ and am working on a third. I have about 12 that need to be finished and with a wedding to pay for on the horizon, I can't send stuff to my LAQ.
