has anybody tried nancy zieman's quilt n turn technique
http://www.nancysnotions.com/categor...d+placemats.do I tried it twice and still got lost in a paper bag LOL! I think the idea is to keep the bulk of the quilt/placemat to the left, and somewhere I got lost didn't turn out the way she explained but I still got it done. doesn't take much to get me confused.

oh yes, she wants you to continue stitching without removing the item and placing it under the throat space again. stitch, raise foot, turn/pivot and lower foot on next line you see after turning and stitch. continue going around and around. have you tried it yet?

This looks very similar to a method developed by a guy named Ernest Haight in the 70s (yes, a guy, in the 70s!!), to give credit where credit is due. I learned it from one of my favorite quilting reference books, "All About Quilting from A to Z". It really does work to keep most of the bulk of the quilt to the left of the machine and out of your way. BUT, and this is where I always mess up, you have to start in the right corner in order for it to work. I have also discovered it doesn't work with square quilts, they have to be rectangular.

I thought I've just been doing this to save money from buying pre-quilted fabrics when I've made cosmetic bags as gifts. No idea I've been using an actual "technique", as it really is easy and produces a great result.
