Hello all hope you all had very Happy Christmas. I do have a question to ask. I think I can put the tops together quite OK but when it comes to quilting "stitch in the ditch" is the only quilting I can do. Now my quetion is... if I do the tracing of any design on my quilt do I need to stitch in the ditch too or do I just undo the safety pins and quilt one square at a time and do I start in the middle or it doesn't matter where I start quilting. But then there is another question how on earth do I manuver the big quilt whilst quilting???? I do have Janome MC 6600 with quite long arm. Please help with suggestions of maybe even step by step instructions. Thank you.

I also have a Janome MC 6600 and do lots of quilting on it. First I pull my machine out from the wall and put an ironing board behind it, and another ironing board along the left side, so that i can spread my quilt out as I go. Watching some of the tutorials at www.DayStyleDesigns.com is very helpful in learning some simple FMQ steps. A pair of quilting gloves helps tremendously. Just jump in there, relax your shoulders, and have fun with it!

I started FMQ recently on my old Bernina 830, and there is really no easy way. I just pin all over. It helps to start in the center and I've read to quilt in sections out from either side of the center, and then up and down from the center (T shape) and then to fill in the 4 corner quadrants. Others say they quilt from top to bottom at the center of the quilt, then fill in left and right from top to bottom. The part to the right of wherever you are working on is always in the way, so I just roll it up to contain it as much as possible. My machine is not a long arm. The "eye" is only about 7" x 4", which is why I'd like to find an old Singer with a longer arm.
