This is called free-motion because the feed dogs of the machine are lowered so the only thing that moves the fabric under the needle is the operator. So, you can move in any direction. The hardest part is regulating your stitch length - which I'm not very good at, probably because I don't do much of it. Like everything it takes practice.
That quilting is super cool looking. Do you have to turn the work to get all those right angles or is there some machine magic helping you out there?
