Also, you may want to consider a more modern alternative, which is to use a walking foot to make wavy lines through the quilt. This is actually easier than trying to make straight lines as there is no "wrong" way to do it. There are a number of tutorials online, and you can Google "wavy quilting lines" and click on "images" to see some of the possibilities. I will link a few here:

I understand why you want the squares to be center stage. Personally I have used the serpentine stitch as a SITD. As before mentioned it doesn't show if you get off track. It is a good stitch to use on the diagonal as well. Good luck. |
