1st, are you using a walking foot which will feed the fabric more evenly? I use YLI invisible thread for my top thread & my Viking Rose machine has a stitch that goes a couple stitches forward, nip, to the left, couple forward, nip to the right, & so on.

I did my first row but the stitches were not even and I didn't like the look of it. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what type of stitch would look good plus be a little easier to do. My quilt is around 50" wide x 60" long. I want to do this myself rather than give it to someone else to quilt. I am new to sewing and quilting so it has been a learning curve for me - kind of "winging" it while I go! Thanks for any help.
