Just go for it! I like to use spray baste to nail it down to reduce puckers on the bottom side. There is a foot that most machines have (but you have to buy it separately)... and it is a "stitch in the ditch" foot. It has a flange that is right in the middle of it andthat flange runs right along the seam line. It has saved me lots of hours of frustration. If a new quilt foot is not an option, another idea is to use a very small zigzag stitch along the seam lines... this reduces the whole issue of missing the ditch. Some quilts look great quilted in straight lines using some of your machines decorative stitches. Mostly... just warm up on scrap for 5 minutes and then go for it. Post it when you are done so we can all ooh and ahh. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
