Andrea, what do mean by cross hatching with a zig zag stitch? I have never heard of a zig zag stitch? Elizabeth

Yes. After finishing the center design I mark the border patterns first and fill in the background in the spare areas. The quilting I do from the center to the edges - that means for the first quarter I start quilting the background and go down the edges.
I found out that the fabric stays flat and won't get so bumpy when I quilt cross hatching in a zig-zag!
