I used to use decorative stitches exclusively instead of an overall quilting design. For 2 reasons: I was terrified of FMQ and my machine had some awesome stitches. I found using different colors of thread added a lot to a design and helped hide my less than perfect sewing abilities. I have now learned to FMQ and I still use some decorative stitches. Love the added texture, color and design. Do what makes you happy!

I thought I "had the market" on using serpentine stitch to quilt. I've done lots of quilts like that. Serpentine stitch makes me look like a pro quilter when I usually can't sew very straight SITD! I usually set it for the longest widest stitch. It always comes out looking good.
