Like most of you, I'm not real fond of it either. Do it with a ruler and to stabilize or travel. I don't charge extra. At a show this weekend saw a huge quilt that had lots of pieces in each block and the quilter had SID on everything. I've quilted this same pattern and was surprised at the treatment as it really lent itself to lots of neat quilting ideas. And also I know the other quilter and little surprise at her choice of SID.
