I have taken a couple of quilting classes but when it comes to the final quliting, we only have been instructed on straight lines (stitch in the ditch or X's across the finished top) I am making a flannel baby quilt and decided to put hearts in the middle of the blocks. The thread kept breaking and I spent 2 hours taking the thread out. I don't want to risk a hole in the quilt so have decided to just stitch in the ditch. I was using tissue paper to trace the hearts and sewing over them. The thread is a variagated (Sulky 40 - German Brand) . Should I drop the feed on the machine since they are not straight lines? I could also stitch in the ditch and hand quilt the hearts in. There are only 35 panels.
