Under-rated Ribbon Meander
 
2 Attachment(s)
I haven't done commercial quilting for a while and as I have a couple of commissions in the works, I took my LA on a spin on a donation quilt from my guild. I think this stitch is REALLY under-rated. Its fast, pretty, forgiving and very adaptable. (I did use two different colours but I think they were both the same tone and disappeared LOL)

Looks great and you forgot to mention fun! You can't really mess it up because you can come back for another pass to fix any boo boos.

That's a great stitch; not too heavy but with great holding power. Very nice.

Is there a tut for this anywhere? It looks self-explanatory, but seeing someone else do it always helps.

Your stitching looks great and fits perfectly with the quilt pattern.

The Tute is as follows.
Meander loosely over the whole quilt. Then go back to the beginning and do it all again but DELIBERATELY missing the mark. The ribbon forms when you pass back and forth over the original track. Try it with a pencil and paper.

It is light an airy. That is so nice of you to quilt a donation quilt for your guild.

Yes! That is very effective and useful!
