When not quilting on a quilting machine, the quilter always has to start in the middle and work outward, first in one direction then in the opposite direction, then the right angle directions to anchor the fabric. This requires me to constantly shift the fabric so that it moves freely under the needle in order to keep the stitches even and to prevent folds and puckers in the fabric. When I'm finished with a large quilt, I have strong arms and shoulders. Not a bad deal--finishing a quilt and upper body building at the same time.
A win-win is always welcome at our house!
