Dee's border treatment on her pointless stars quilt would be VERY easy to do on your HSM. Put down masking tape or painters tape to stitch next to for your straight diagonal lines or mark them with a soluble marker. Another option besides SID is to quilt on each key right next to the seam line, like an 1/8 of an inch or less away. Easier then trying to stay right in the ditch and looks just as nice if done consistently. If you piano key is your outer most border you can simply cut off your thread ends on the outside edge, the stitches should be secured by your binding.
