LOL, stitch-in-the ditch is not easy! The easiest I have found for newbies (of which I am one) is the straight stitch in the cross-hatch pattern using thin painters tape as guide lines. But that could just be me. I have several quilting feet to give free-motion quilting a try but I'm too busy to practice!! One more granddaughter then I'll have the "most do's" done. And for more experienced quilters, newbies really need the full explanation instead of acronyms. LOL
