Hello all hope you all had very Happy Christmas. I do have a question to ask. I think I can put the tops together quite OK but when it comes to quilting "stitch in the ditch" is the only quilting I can do. Now my quetion is... if I do the tracing of any design on my quilt do I need to stitch in the ditch too or do I just undo the safety pins and quilt one square at a time and do I start in the middle or it doesn't matter where I start quilting. But then there is another question how on earth do I manuver the big quilt whilst quilting???? I do have Janome MC 6600 with quite long arm. Please help with suggestions of maybe even step by step instructions. Thank you.

I also have a Janome MC 6600 and do lots of quilting on it. First I pull my machine out from the wall and put an ironing board behind it, and another ironing board along the left side, so that i can spread my quilt out as I go. Watching some of the tutorials at www.DayStyleDesigns.com is very helpful in learning some simple FMQ steps. A pair of quilting gloves helps tremendously. Just jump in there, relax your shoulders, and have fun with it!
