UV light

I used the UV light on my quilting machine today for the first time.  I was doing some custom quilting with cream thread on cream fabric and I could not see my stitching at all.  It really helped. I really enjoyed making these sunburst/octopus designs.
Continuous curves are still my enemy.  I am terrible at them.  I read that you should keep your eye about an inch ahead of the pantograph pattern when you quilt using them, so I tried to keep my eye ahead and focus on where I wanted to go (the corners).  That helped.  I think those are the hardest thing to do in custom quilting.
