It can be difficult to keep the line straight(er) if you stop in the middle of a line. Once it's quilted, the shrinkage will hide any minor bobbles anyway.
What is a 1/4 in pressure foot? I always use my walking foot when doing the straight lines in one direction. Recently, since I got a ruler foot, I've been loving to use a ruler to do straight lines because it's so much faster! I'm a daredevil with speed
Sephie, the 1/4 pressure foot is just my guide to sew the correct distance from the seam line. I sew on a Pfaff machine that has the IDT (integrated duel feed), so it doesn't require another walking foot. I'm trying to do the outlining with the fmq foot and not too accurate at this point
Thank you for all the good suggestions!
