I did the 1/4 inch stitch with my GD's quilt this summer, and really liked how it made the pattern stand out. I will use it again, anytime, that it will compliment the pattern. SID really is harder than the 1/4 inch stitching. I always use contrasting thread in the top thread.

Thanks everyone! I'm going to try it. Can't go wrong I guess. I'm using a verigated thread in beige and different shades of tans & lt browns. The quilt contains those colors along with some gold and deep red. It's the yellow brick road pattern.
