Hi: I machine piece, but I hand quilt small things like wall hangings. I use stitch in the ditch, use Tiger Tape in about 1/4 from edge of the material, and when the border has a pattern I might try and follow it. I have deigned some larger wall hangings but I have designed patterns to use, but at this time I have not tried to put them on the material. I will use a pen on scrap material to make sure it irons out first. If the lines are straight I again will use Tiger Tape to make sure my stitches are even. Hope this helps.
