Default To Change Direction or Not

Hello Everyone. I’m back for more advice. I use a domestic machine for all of my sewing and quilting.

I usually quilt straight lines from edge to edge. I feel compelled to hide my threads when I don’t. The last time I spent a couple of days hiding threads, I promised myself that I wouldn’t be in that situation again.

It seems that every time I’m ready to start quilting and look for ideas, I find conflicting advice on whether or not to reverse direction every other line. For every website that claims it’s the only correct way, there’s another website stating that every line should be sewn in the same direction. Is this one of those “do what works for you” things?

I’m looking for any advice or pointers in this area. I’m attempting some soft curves with my walking foot on my current project…just soft curvy lines from side to side. Not sure if I should change direction every other line or not.

Thank you for all comments. I’m learning so much in this forum.
