OK - we all know what SID is right? Stitch in the Ditch!

Having difficulty keeping my stitch in the ditch - I took a suggestion from a member of this board and tried using a decorative stitch over the ditch. So much easier and looks great!

So - my new acronym - DSOD or Decorative Stitch Over the Ditch! :-)

Good idea! Very pretty stitching!

Thanks, great idea! I can't stay exactly where I want to be either. Maybe I'm just not doing something right?

Very cute!

Good idea!!

Love it!!! :D

Looks fantastic, nice work.

Great idea! Glad it worked!

I like it!!! That's what I do sometimes. Instead of in the ditch I run along the ditch with a fun stitch.

How nice you FMQ looks! the stippling/meandering is just enough to off set the blocks without detracting from the colors /patterns in the blocks. Just goes to show you that not every inch of a quilt block needs to be quilted.

Really cute and a great idea.

What a great and super idea! I'm trying to decide how to quilt a quilt, and will definitely put this idea in the running!

That looks really good. I may try that on small quilt. I even have a foot that is for stitching in the ditch, but I still have problems.

Thank you for the comment on my FMQ! I am still very new to it so your positive reinforcement really helps!

I love your quilt and your new quilting term too :D:D:D

Very nice!

I love it. And your wall hanging is beautiful.

:-D :-D one of my favourite things :-D :-D

good luck with that. has to start somewhere. Not the technique..the term
