I am working on the "Fun and Done" quilt which is a quilt as you go pattern. I really would like to quilt the whole thing when I'm done next time but I'm scared. Can I just use the walking foot with the guide that came with it and make lines in each block? Has anyone ever done this?

Yes you can do that. It's straight line quilting and the guide just helps you to sew straight.

easiest way to quilt

I use my guide all the time. Couldn't sew a straight line without it! I always draw the first line, stitch on the line, then line the guide up with the line of stitches just sewn to sew the next line. I didn't trust myself the first time and did a practice on a 12 inch square of plain calico. It worked like a dream. I even managed a grid, something a dope like me would never have been able to do in the past.

thanks for asking this. Now I know the answer too.
|
I'm going to try it too!

Do you mean quilt it after you complete it? The fun and done I did didn't need to be quilted afterwards. Maybe you mean add more quilting details?

yes you can

Ok cool! No not with this fun and done... I mean with my next quilt. I don't like how I have to line up all the sashing and sometimes my blocka are off and it makes the whole thing look off. Should I do the grid in each square or should I just go up and down the whole quilt like that?
