Funny how it sometimes takes someone else's question to make you realize you've already got the answer to your frustrations. =)

(Kenmore Elite, all I could afford then and can not afford a new one).Am trying to hand quilt one. But do you think that I could FMG on the other one with the machine turned? And how do you machine piece with the machine turned and get the seams straight? H ave never quilted before and have never seen it done or even seen a long-arm machine. :?
