I think it looks great - I love your chevron quilt - I think you are doing a great job echo quilting.

We all start somewhere -- and you have now graduated to echo quilting -- you are way ahead of me!!

Nessie is it like ditch hopping. I agree I find echoing a seam easier than Sitd. I like to use the width of a foot to keep distance away from seam.
Your work is great. Love the colours of the zigzag. Have a good day tomorrow.

Thanks, everyone. I can't wait to continue tomorrow. (Rather wish the hubby hadn't found a movie for us to watch...but he is one of my favorite hobbies too.)

Echo quilting is several rows of stitching going outside the seam line. I use a round foot and the when starting the next row the foot becomes my guide by placing it against the last row of stitching. Takes out the guess work of how far a
part to make the rows. There are tons of videos at google

So just doing one line on each side of a seam isn't echo quilting? Is it a variation or just something that doesn't have a name? I am just trying to learn my terms here. I saw pictures of what you are describing when I was googling to see if this is what I wanted to do with this quilt.

Oh well, it doesn't matter. I still am delighted with the way it is turning out and I am enjoying it. That is what counts, right?

Okay, what some of us are doing is called 'outline' quilting. Found this, on the web -

"A line of quilting that is stitched a uniform distance away from a fabric patch, applique piece or quilting motif. If you stopped with the first line of stitching, it is called outline quilting.

If you continue by stitching another line a uniform distance away from the first, you are now echo quilting. "

Thanks, Neesie, I was going to research this first thing this morning, and now I know I am doing outline quilting. Thank you!!
