quilt in the ditch
#21
I have a Janome 6600 and I have a stitch in the ditch foot that is really helpful, especially as a beginner...it has a little piece of metal that helps to separate the seam and keep you on the line and sew straight...it is great...try to bury the stitch in the seam as much as possible...

I have already done SID by hand several times. I stitch very close along the seam line on the side where there are no seam allowances. The quilting stitches are almost unnoticeable that way.
SID gives structure but I like it much more when the quilting is more visible. As far as I know SID is recommended for beginners - but I must say it is easier to practice hand quilting on a surface without seams nearby and you can control and improve your skills better when you see your stitches clearly on the fabric.
