I have done the method mentioned in that thread. I don't have many problems getting myself stuck anymore. I only did this type of meandering because that is what my son thought the quilt needed and it is for HIS son. I have six quilts waiting to be quilted. Going to do something I enjoy more for the next one!
Then I will do something to "teach" me something new on the next. I try to alternate so that I can still enjoy my hobby while learning new things.
