I'm really glad you brought up this topic. I bought some of the Benartex backing that has a design for learning how to FMQ on my domestic machine.
Thanks for all the great responses! Now I'm going to tackle it lol

I love the idea of using designs on the backing fabric for quilting lines, but I'd have to be super mindful to get the back straight. My backings have a bit of a wonky tilt to them on occaision. :oops:

I do it either way for a number of reasons, when I first started FMQ I learnt by having a motif to approx follow on the back, one of my favourites was a Butterfly fabric I found which looked lovely on the front.
