Default Quilting across the grain on backing fabric

Ages ago I came across an interesting article which I bookmarked.....and then my computer had a hissy fit and had to be repaired....and now I've lost all my bookmarks .
I remember reading an article by a quilter about how she found her walking foot channel quilting was always nicer on her backing if she quilted in one particular way...either with the grain of the backing, or across the grain. She said the fabric had a tendancy to pull or shift in the columns if she quilted the "wrong" way. I can't remember which it was. Has anyone any opinion or experience on this?
