Charlotte, where are you located? If near Iowa, you can come over and play with my system. Would love to find a quilting buddy near me to bounce ideas off and to get together to sew.

I have used the decorative stitches on my Viking #1 + to do wavy lines. I use a longer width for the pattern and mark the grid about three inches apart. I use the regular sewing foot.

I also have a New Home with a walking foot and have used the decorative stitch on it, but am more familiar with using the Viking machine and can see better without the walking foot.

I also glue baste with Elmer's School Glue- love that stuff !

do not use a walking foot to meander, you will have a mess, use your darning foot.

If the "wave" is small as you say, does you machine not have a "wavy" line setting? Mine does and I can vary the width and the length. (I use my built in walking foot for everything! But then I don't really FMQ)

Your sewing machine has a "wavy" line setting? Please point me in the direction of this. I would absolutely love to know how to do this!!

Do you mean like serpentine? You might just try that on a sandwich piece and see how that goes. I'd use an open toe foot so you can see where you are stitching, but at least worth trying.

If this link doesn't open,
Click on tutorials and scroll down to Paths to better stippling / meandering - the last reply was on 02/28/2013.
I thought this was a great idea !
