Default quilting with bias outside edges

Hi, everyone -

I'm getting ready to straight-line quilt a top with 4-patches set on point. I'll be using a walking foot and a Juki 2010.

I'm planning to go on the diagonal from one side to the other. It sounds easy and fun, compared to the last thing I did, but I am worried about the edges. It was my first time with setting triangles and I ended up with the bias to the outside edge.

I thought about running a line of stitching through all 3 layers before starting, to shore them up a bit, but I'm worried about anchoring edges before the diagonal lines are in. Isn't there more movement in going diagonally?

I would be grateful for any suggestions you have. I am so worried about stretching it out of shape.

hugs,
Charlotte
