These instructions are so worth viewing.
I agree! Very interesting technique!
I used Sharon Schamber's method and it worked beautifully. I'm in the midst of machine quilting my sister's quilt now, but my walking foot decided to "take a hike". Going to get another one after work today and continue quilting. I'll post a picture when done. I'm stitching in the ditch (or somewhere near the ditch). It's harder than it sounds with a queen-size quilt.
I'm definitely not a pro, but did you try the wobbly stitch? That's the narrowest zig zag your machine can do. Go along the seam as you would with a straight stitch. I saw it on a quilting show one day and decided to try it on a quilt that was quite bulky on the machine. It worked well.
