Not very experienced at this as you can tell, any advice appreciated.
I start in the center of the quilt and do sew each line in the opposite direction. I just line the tape up in the center and quilt lines out to one side and then back to center and out to the other side. If you do wide widths and fill in you defeat the purpose of the tape, because you would have to measure to make sure the lines were perfect as you fill in. That would involve "math" (shudder). Actually, I like math, but why bother.
