Roben, that's why I do SID...It does a nice job of securing all the layers, and I like the way it shows up on the back. I'm in the process of learning (on my own) the art of FM, but it will take me awhile, and like many others, I can't afford to have someone else quilt a piece for me. And the IDT foot on my Pfaff makes it easy to feed the layer through without a walking foot.
