I am going to use this method and am wondering if you use the regular stitch setting or do you elongate the stitches.
Looks more like hand quilting with longer stitches. :(

I've seen various stitch lengths.. Shorter, regular, and longer than usual.

Practice on a scrap to see how your machine behaves.

I lenthen my stitches a bit, but that is my personal preference. It seems like the shorter the stitch, the more puckering you may have, especially after washing :D:D:D

Do a test patch on scrap (backing, batting and top)

I used the default setting on my machine - never gave it a thought. I think it was 2.5.

I lengthen my stitches a bit as well. Seems less scrunchy or puckery to me. Also flows a little easier through the machine when I come to busy seams.

I lengthen it to 3.0. That's what I find looks and feels the best.
