Walking foot with guide?
#1
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?

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.

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?
