I have used my used straight line quilting & grid quilting. It always looks nice & it is relaxing because it is so easy & you don't have a lot of thinking involved! lol Just draw the lines & sew. I'm like Onebyone though. I also have to draw on my lines because using the guide doesn't work for me. I need to get that book too. Sounds very interesting to learn these designs with your walking foot.

I do straight-line stitching with rulers now. It's fun and fast.

yes...i made one quilt like that...it was called Crazy Eights and consisted of 2 1/2 squares...perfect for the cross hatch quilting pattern. Love that quilt!

I quilt with a diagonal when I quilt, only use a home machine. I use a walking foot with the machine that needs one, sometimes I use the simpler decorative stitches when I quilt.

I don't do intricate quilting at all. It's usually cross-hatch or angle or maybe a squiggle/wavy line. Once I did a wavy cross-hatch. It was cute and on a small crib but was cute.
