Straight stitching is a good and easy way to start leaning how to quilt using your DSM. I would just start in the center and stitch in the ditch (where your seams are) from one side of the quilt to the other. Then you could go down the center of the wider chevrons if you felt it needed more quilting. Just be sure to have fun !!

Hmm this is an interesting technique. Filing this away especially for a mini I am working on.

If you shorten your stitches just a little, and then as you tear hold you finger along the stitch line it'll give it more support and it'll tear away easier. You can also use tissue paper to do the same thing. Its a great techinque especially for those of us who aren't so happy with our free style way of sewing designs. I need the template.
