An old quilter gave me a hint about quilting lines on a quilt even if it is cross hatching or straight, can be used on the machine or by hand , Buy a roll of painters tape, it is blue and comes in two dfferent widths, I crosshatched a small quilt , you can do a row and then take the tape off and move it over another row, it stays soft on the quilt , does not leave marks and can be used over and over, it works real good. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
