I really like the look of grid quilting, but most of the time, I just give up on quilting the other direction and make "diagonal" quilting instead.<br /><br />I have a nice quilting bar on my walking foot that allows me to create parallel lines. It's harder to keep straight lines with it than with painting tape, but it's worked okay for me so farRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899925801318375926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-37496358409416691622009-07-13T01:23:44.237-05:002009-07-13T01:23:44.237-05:00I am so excited - my stippling is very iffy - even...I am so excited - my stippling is very iffy - even though I bought my new machine especially to stipple it really does not come out OK ( maybe its me) after a week of undoing a fully stippled single bed quilt I decided never again - I think you have solved my anti stipling dilema- Tasew and sews toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01556674741133640364noreply@blogger.com
