-The first pic is my grandmothers quilt top.
-The second pic is of a small zig zag stitching in the seam. I have read that "on" the seam is just as acceptable is stitching in the ditch?
-The third pic is my first experiment with FMQ...Not happening right now!

SO...opinions of the zigzag? I can handle this. I think it will do the job without taking away from the thousand triangles!
would you be opposed to tacking? The quilt pattern is one that would look good tacked!
What is that? Can you explain with a picture???
