Where should your eyes be looking when quilting?
Ok so this might be a really silly question. I have a sit down simply 16. I have not done much quilting but some.
When I sat down to do a simple curvy wave pattern I realized , that as much, that many things need to be synchronized (speed, fabric movement etc.)I really did not know where to look. I drew 1/2" lines and and then did a curvy line up and down the straight line. (I am now thinking the curvy line should have been done between the 1/2 " lines!!!) I then realized my eyes were everywhere.
I have not got an open toe foot , only a closed toe.
Should you try to keep the pattern in view by looking at it within the closed toe foot or beyond it?
Because I am doing the curves using the straight line when I go up, and then down, I am basically going backwards and it becomes difficult to see the line behind the needle.
Could I please get some suggestions to help with were one should look?
Thanks so much,
Linda
