Selm ,
You misunderstood my post. I said that the decorative stitches were sometimes distorted when I didn’t use dual feed/walking foot. The sandwich wasn’t being fed through evenly and I would get distortion. My dealer said not to do decorative stitches that go backward while using the walking foot as it is meant to only go forward.
By all means do what works for you.

Julie- I'm thinking it may be tedious for a whole quilt. I've used decorative stitches occasionally, for example on bindings, small projects, etc, but I don't think I'd have the patience to use them on a big quilt.

Now, I'm tempted to try a simple thing like a blanket stitch on a quilt...hmmm.
