I've been having a frustrating afternoon trying some new free motion quilting techniques with a circular template. I have a short arm machine and no matter where I positioned my hands I couldn't keep hold of the template all the way round (I have arthritis in my wrists which makes it more difficult) and in moving position I kept going off course.
I suddenly thought, what if I sit at the end of my machine instead of face on so I am not restricted by the arm. It works! Feels a bit odd to begin with but much more comfortable on my wrists. Anyone else tried this or have any other suggestions.
Rain! If you’re in the SE, have you had any?
Flying monkey - anyone aware of the term?
