I have used this stitch, and like it very much. It is a great way to quilt an area quickly. I have used it for sun rays, water, echo quilting, and SID...I haven't tried spider webs yet, but have it in the back of my mind for a Halloween top... Thought it could be good.

I love this stitch for small quilts and purses. It looks very cool when done.

:D I posted this quilt a couple of years ago. I really like the serpentine stitch, not just for the appearance, but also because it is more forgiving than just a straight stitch. I have a Janome 7700 and this is Utility Stitch #19.

I'm so glad you showed us this stitch. For some reason I thought it was a different stitch from yours. Now I know for sure. Thank you so much for showing us the correct stitch.

Thanks for sharing this. I just spent way too much time marking a quilt in a similar design, never thinking about my machine having a stitch that would do it. Always learning from this board :thumbup:

If you've heard of the Cotton Theory Quilting http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Theory-.../dp/0977261107 she uses a serpentine stitch a lot for quilting her 2 sided quilts. Why? Because you don't have to worry about keeping such a straight line.

I love to use that stitch for stitching in the ditch (actually over the ditch) when I do simple 6" squares for baby quilts or graduation quilts. It reinforces the utility quilts and looks really nice and interesting.

Thank you for sharing this. I've never been quite sure which stitch they were talking about but now you've made the light bulb go off! My machine also has this & another one has it where I can make it a really super size.
