JuneBillie - I am in the same boat as you. I need to eventually quilt about a 60 x 60 quilt on my machine and haven't done it before. I'm thinking of doing simple straight lines too. I have a disappearing nine patch pattern and to do stitch in the ditch would be too much. Sometimes it's just taking the plunge and trying it - and that's where I am! The quilt I'm making will be larger than baby size but for a baby.
