(IMO, without a SID foot/metal guide, it would be virtually impossible to stitch a straight line next to the seamline.) If you have the SID foot and still sew crookedly, one thing you need to be careful about is sewing over "lumps" where two seams meet. Those lumps can cause your guide and stitching to go wonky. Also, when using the SID foot, the narrowest zigzag stitch works well.

I have a HuskyStar and since I am selling my longarm I will be using it when I am not hand quilting.

Thinking about getting a Grace frame later on.

Don't get upset if all is not perfect. You will enjoy it all the more. Strive for your best but don't sweat the small stuff.
