However, I don't have a wavy line setting on my machine! The closest thing I have is a zig zag stitch, which is close but not exactly what I want I wish I had a more advanced machine!
Actually, the wavy lines I am talking about are a straight stitch! You simply guide the quilt sandwich to right and left as you sew with a walking foot. This makes gently curved lines, and you don't have to worry about stitch length -- all of the stitches will be even. It's very easy to do. Maybe try it out on a practice piece to decide on stitch length, spacing of the lines, etc.

Edit: I just checked the link you posted. Those wavy lines are indeed made with a decorative stitch -- usually called a serpentine stitch. This is different from my suggestion in that it creates very even waves. The photo I posted is made with just a straight stitch, and the lines are purposely uneven.
