Is this the correct/best way? Don't know - it's what I did for a baby flannel quilt that was not going to be judged...just loved.

I agree to take your time using the walking foot...let it do the work.

I think I will print this out and put it beside my machine!! Great hints! Thanks!!
Check the back occasionally.

I reminded myself (and sometimes out loud) that I was quilting faster than hand sewing...so relax and enjoy the process!
