1. Believe it or not, it was easier to put the machine in manual mode and slow WAY down. In stitch regulated mode if I went too slow I wobbled, too fast I wandered off my line.
2. I tried several different rulers and I had the best results with the Little Girl from Gadget Girls.
3. I don't like doing stitch in the ditch!!!

You did a wonderful job! I'm always amazed at how much you accomplish Mary.
I don't like SID either... but it looks great! I love this quilt.
It turned out great! I'm glad I clicked for the bigger picture... I love the little sidelines quilting designs.
That's a cute quilt pattern!
I don't like doing stitch in the ditch either, but love the way it looks. Everyone says it is so easy, but I think it is so hard to follow the lines! I was never a stay in the lines kind of girl.
You did a great job on this one. Pat yourself on the back.
I agree, SID is tricky! I like to do in on my DSM first then load it onto the longarm for any extra quilting I may want to do. I would like to get better at it on the longarm though. So I will keep practicing!
Thanks for the tip. I have tried some stitch inthe ditch, but if I try it again I'll remember what you said. I know it is difficult. Your quilt looks great.
It looks great Mary. When I took a class with Pam Clarke at MQX she said whenever she does SITD she always uses Monopoly thread so if she does wobble, it isn't as obvious.
You did a great job.
I think you did a great job on the quilt. I hope to remember about the stitch in the ditch tip next week. I'm going in for a longarm lesson. All I have to say is GREAT JOB
Thanks for the tip about using manual mode. I am like you, I hate stitch in the ditch!
Me neither, Mary, me neither.
You did a great job! Don't sell yourself short. It looks so cool from the back. Jennifer
I haven't done too many juvenile prints in a quilt but the triangles are a lovely setting. Please tell your friend how much I like this quilt. (And your stitch in the ditch quilting looks great from here!)
