hey fellow quilters,I have had a tuff time looking at how my stitches look underneath.I`ve found that a hand mirror and a small flashlight work like a dream!Just lay the mirror on your table and shine the flashlite on it,bingo your stitches show up without paying for those exspensive 2 way camaras.

At the auto parts store you should be able to find a mirror on an extending handle. That is what I use when trying to see my bobbin stitches. Works great!

What a fantastic idea. I have developed pretty sensitive fingers to feel the stitches, buy my biggest clue is still how the machine sounds. I know the sound of my machine when it is running well, and not so well.
