Bed Runner complete - but how to quilt ?
1 Attachment(s)
I am fairly early on in my quilting journey (I only got my first machine at Christmas). I’ve finished my bed runner which I was using as a way to learn different techniques. Now I’ve got to quilt it but not sure what to do. I’ve done SID before which I can do and I have used my walking foot to do ‘cross hatching’ across smaller square projects. I’ve tried FMQ once which was a disaster but I have a class on this in 5 weeks time so I can practice that on smaller pieces. Is there anything more interesting I can do with my walking foot other than SID?

For some reason I can only attach one picture in each post!

I love this beautiful sampler.
You are doing a wonderful job. |
maybe some straight lines in the sashings, not to compete with the lovely blocks?

Does your machine have a serpentine stitch? That works well with a walking foot. Or any kind of straight lines really, doesn’t have to be SID, you can echo stitch with a walking foot. In the photo below I added some triangles to the borders with my walking foot.

Hi Oh Canada - I think it does but I never thought of using some different stitches with the walking foot! I'm going to do a trial on a scrap tomorrow - thank you so much for the idea! Triangles is a nice idea as well.

That is beautiful! There is clearly more to the walking foot than I envisaged so will keep practising, thanks!

Make sure you verify that your machine and walking foot combo is capable of doing decorative stitches. Not all are. Some will not even let you reverse.

I would not recommend SID, as there are so many designs you can do with a walking foot. There are even Craftsy classes online. If you Google "images", you will find lots of ideas.
