I have never heard of a SITD foot. I do have a guide that I can attach to any of my standard feet (not the darning foot). It allowes me to have exact distances between lines of stitching.
I do use both my walking foot with the guide attached to do crosshatching or straight line sewing with spray basted quilts. It works fine. I sew in opposite directions to help reduce the amount of drag and stretching in the same direction.
When I do SITD sewing I use either the Walking foot or 1/4" foot foot without the guide 'cause the seam is the guide I follow. Reducing the speed of the machine helps with acurate sewing. I have found that spray basting works with any kind of machine quilting and have never had a problem. Some basting sprays leave more reside than others so I always have some nail polish remover and Q-tips on hand to wipe the presser foot and needle if basting glue accumulates on them.
Could some one please discribe a SITD foot? I have never heard of it. Thanks
peace
