Need Help with FMQ
I'm still learning FMQ. Using a open toe spring action foot and no visual problem traveling forward and sideways, but try to traverse backward I can't see where I'm going. Am I explaining my question? Most of the time I am trying to travel back in a straight line or follow where I've been, but I can't see where I've been. I'm open to all suggestions/advice Please.

I second the suggestion from Tartan that you use a ruler foot and rulers to get a straight line, **especially** when you cannot easily see where you are going!
But Cashs Mom raises an excellent point...at any time in FMQ on a domestic, you can stop needle down and reposition the quilt.

All of your suggestions and ideas are so welcome and so simple I feel pretty dumb, why didn’t I think of any of those ideas!! I can’t wait to get over this migraine and back to my sewing machine. Thanks to all of you.
