Sometimes I surprise myself as the doodling helps me figure out a quilting pattern different to what I would have done if I had just started with the machine. And this might be FMQing or straight line or perhaps a combo.
Too, it helps me see the "stitch-route" that I might be able to take, to have the least breaks in thread.
I don't know how many times I have quilted something and part way through have the great aha moment of, "oh darn, if I had gone here and then here and here and ..... I could have done it continuously!" The fewer burials I have to do, the better!
