Same here. I quilt with my domestic and I sew in the same direction. Once I decided to follow some 'advice' that I had read about doing every other line in the opposite direction and I had all kinds on waves, puckers, and catching fabric to overlap under a stitch. I usually do a grid either square grids or diamond grids, but I always sew in the same direction (top to bottom, top to bottom) etc and then turning on the sides to do (left to right, left to right) etc. -- or on the diagonal the same direction for the diamond grids.
