That site is awesome- thanks again for posting it!! I looked at it yesterday and really like the stairs
http://blog.petitdesignco.com/2012/10/stairs.html or possibly a plain diagonal (or crosshatch- yes, I'm indecisive). Since it's such a big quilt I'm afraid to do FMQ as I'm such a newbie!!
And yes, I felt like my quilt was pulling or being pulled because of it's weight so maybe that was why the stitches were so uneven??
I'll have to play with more of my decorative stitches. I've got oodles of them and could use those on a crosshatch/ diagonal as well, right??!
