I just finished a D9P, crib size.. SID would let you sew for long runs without stopping. Unfortunately I started, and continued sewing 1/4 in on all the blocks. That left me with 4 threads to tie and bury for each block. Not good idea. Then in the center of the large blocks I freehanded a star--more threads to tie and bury. Thank goodness it is only crib size. I'd SID if i were to do it again.
