My FMQ cheat
I've never seen this mentioned online and as I was quilting just now I thought I'd snap a photo and share my method. I only do FMQ and I do it on a 1956 Kenmore. I only do a meander.
My cheat is that I meander right around my basting safety pins. I guess that means my pins are incorporated into my design!
I have a hard enough time wrestling my quilts through the throat of my machine. If I had to stop often and remove safety pins too it would take all the joy out of quilting for me.
I can't think of any reason not to quilt the way I do. Can you?
I hope this helps someone.
