I have an HQ 16 sitdown machine. It is facing this way. It is wonderful the space I have for my arms while doing free motion quilting.

I can see FMQ with it turned but Piecing? I cannot get my head wrapped around that at all.

I will have to try this. Only hope my pee brain can wrap itself around this and change directions. :roll:

Hmmm....why have I never thought about doing this???? I'll have to try it, looks very interesting!

Doh! What a great idea. I will try it with my FW as the other machine is nested in a table and I don't want to disturb it. What a great concept!

I never thought of that. Makes sense, will have to try it next time.

"I will have to try this. Only hope my pee brain can wrap itself around this and change directions."

I can't get the piecing part either. They must have used a hopping/darning foot when they pieced that way. (I'm just guessing.) :roll:
