How about you move 1/4 the way around your machine to the left, then face your machine. Clear up the picture any? Good luck!
Also, have a full flat surface otherwise your quilt will get caught on the 'corners' and it will mess up the stitching.

Those are great tips . I've been FMQ with a home machine for years and never thought of that! Thanks.

That is a good idea. I might be able to do that.
