Is this cheating?
#1
I just discovered the decorative stitches on my sewing machine and tried them out on one of my Castle Crasher Wall Hanging projects...Just wondered if this is cheating? So easy - just guide the fabric so the stitch pattern keeps going straight!
The only difficult part (as you can probably see) is the corners. :P
I was wondering though - is there any reason (besides it being too easy) that quilters don't use decorative stitches more? Does it not hold as well?

I use them all of the time... I also love the way the back sides look too :D:D:D
I sometimes round off the corners with a chalked line, and follow that, it seems to work well with most of the stitches :wink:
It is also a fun way to machine sew the bindings on a quilt.

I've quilted a couple of doll quilts with decorative stitches that turned out really cute. I don't know I'd ever do a very large project just because it uses so much thread.
Edit: I think I also saw a show (maybe Fons and Porter) where they'd even used the decorative stitches to create a design on their fabric. It was pretty cool. I love the stitches.
