Quilting on the Diagonal?
#3
I have too, I marked diagonal lines on my quilt with a pencil that brushed off after the quilting was complete, and started from the middle and worked out, and sewed in different directions for each row....I kept holding my breath ... so my tip is to remember to breath...please
post your finished quilt.....

I am assuming that you are speaking of machine quilting. I often use the diagonal method using tape for marking when handquilting. It makes a nice finished product. I have never tried it on a machine.

I enjoy this look, have done this hand quilting, DSM, and on my long arm free hand, and now computerized!
way easier with the computer.
I really love this look, and enjoy the process of quilting by hand!

I have machine straightline quilted diagonal. (Not FMQ).
It was a half log cabin laid in rows (so was diagonal) I quilted the opposite diagonal. A throw size.
At the time, I had no walking foot. It worked fine. No puckering.
I think since the fabric was all on bias, there was enough give to let the machine do what it needed to do.
