I am new to machine quilting, but have experimented with SID and FMQ and enjoy them both.
I've just finished the top of a pretty busy quilt. Lots of vintage fabrics, combinations of small squares and rectangles. Each 6-inch block is a series of rectangles "framing" a small square in the center of the block.
So I am ready to mark the top. Having no preference for any particular type of machine quilting, I can't decide where to go from here.
Are there any rules of thumb out there regarding the pattern of your quilt top and what you decide to do for quilting (using a stencil, free motion, stitch in ditch, or even just tying)? I am just having a hard time make my choice, and it sure would be nice to eliminate some.
Thanks. Debbie

I just finished a quilt for my daughter and it was alot of squares and diamonds. I did an edge to edge diamond pattern and it turned out great. Here is the link
