I think stitch in the ditch looks really good on certain patterns and like Kluedesigns says,if you have a domestic macine like I also do, it is a great way to quilt. You don't really want to see the stiching,it makes some patterns pop out. If you use the poly instead of cotton it makes the pattern stand out and look very soft. The last time I made a quilt with cotton every one in my family said never do them one with that stiff stuff. Some of the cotton is really soft now I used moutain mist on that one. All concerned thought it was too flat. Poly and stitch in the ditch work well together.
