Sorry I am not a graphic artist. LOL
What I'm trying to explain is that I always start from the middle out.
I start with (1) (2) (3) (4). Then I do the other rows or columns but
always starting from the middle. I try not to follow this pattern by quadrant
then go the other way.

I'm working on a Christmas quilt and I'm supposed to SID for the xmas trees in the middle of the quilt. Will what you've described still work? ie start and end with small stitches.
I always feel iffy about using contrasting thread for the top. My top has colours consisting of cream, red and green and my backing fabric is red. Would u suggest that I use cream thread for the bobbin and top? But the cream would be a great contrast against the red backing. Hmmm....preference is to use cream for the top and red for bobbin, but I'll run into the thread tension problem as described above.

I don't have any problem doing SITD. My pfaff has the built in walking foot, one of the best features of this machine. I have had it since 1986 and love it. I,m not sure about the SITD foot, I,m going to check into it.

As far as I know SID works well for long straight lines. SID around the trees
might work for a pot holder, wall-hanging or baby quilt but for a larger quilt,
think how you are going to turn at every corner. That's the tricky part. ;)

Some Machine manufactures have come up with a walking foot with the stitch in the ditch foot on it. It is a great tool for this , but at the high cost of the walking foot , it is tough to swallow another high priced foot.
