Charlotte, where are you located? If near Iowa, you can come over and play with my system. Would love to find a quilting buddy near me to bounce ideas off and to get together to sew.

I have used the decorative stitches on my Viking #1 + to do wavy lines. I use a longer width for the pattern and mark the grid about three inches apart. I use the regular sewing foot.

I also have a New Home with a walking foot and have used the decorative stitch on it, but am more familiar with using the Viking machine and can see better without the walking foot.

I also glue baste with Elmer's School Glue- love that stuff !

do not use a walking foot to meander, you will have a mess, use your darning foot.

If the "wave" is small as you say, does you machine not have a "wavy" line setting? Mine does and I can vary the width and the length. (I use my built in walking foot for everything! But then I don't really FMQ)

I would use a walking foot!

Your sewing machine has a "wavy" line setting? Please point me in the direction of this. I would absolutely love to know how to do this!!

Do you mean like serpentine? You might just try that on a sandwich piece and see how that goes. I'd use an open toe foot so you can see where you are stitching, but at least worth trying.
