Default Machine Quilting Design?

Hi....I am a handquilter learning to machine quilt. I recently bought a brother sq9050 that has quilting features and have completed a couple of little quilts using the walking foot (diagonal lines). The first one was definitely a learning experience as it had several puckers and my stitches were tight. I have learned about basting spray and to lengthen my stitch length and the second one was much better. I am not very good at fmq (at least not yet) and I have this quilt to quilt. Was thinking about quilting it about a quarter inch from the seams. Was wondering if when quilters did this do they just go in straight continuous lines or each individual square? Or is there another design someone would recommend? Thanks for any suggestions!
