There are so many designs for machine quilting, whether it be a panto or custom work. I don't care for dense quilting on one of my bed quilts. Although quite beautiful when done right, dense quilting makes the quilt stiff, not cuddly, and definitely less warm. I prefer, as do most all that I make quilts for, the simpler, less dense quilting patterns. So many quilt tops are made with lots of repeating, straight line patterns that I want something simple and curvy in my quilting, something to soften the "hardness" of the straight lines. Sometimes I want just SITD because I don't want to take away from the beautiful fabrics. There is no right or wrong here, just personal preference....your quilt, your way!
