When I am free motion quilting, I have a problem with the field of vision. I have to open the side door to get a better view. It helps somewhat. I am tall and that could be the problem. Does anyone else have this problem? Or a solution.

Sorry, I am not familiar with your specific machine.
However, the visibility is one of the challenges I have found with FMQing on a DSM.
You could try raising your machine .... or lowering your chair and see if that helps.
Also, try switching up which way you are stitching .....
Is your unquilted area between the machine and you? or behind the needle?
Try quilting ..... away from you .... towards you .... left to right ..... right to left.
Some experimentation may help you discover
what works best for you to make FMQing more enjoyable.

Something else you can try is to turn your machine so that it is 90 degrees rotated counter clockwise- this means you sew with the small (left) end of the machine facing you. Since you're FMQ, it doesn't have to face traditionally.

I have an LED light strip that I can move around and under the arm of the machine. I attach with painters tape rather than the sticky side of the light strip so it moves depending on the sewing task.
