I saw the cutest child quilt tonight and the quilter used the serpintine quilt to sew on the lines instead of quilt in the ditch. It was beautifully done and I was empressed.
I am just wondering does anyone else ever use any of the fancy stitches on the machine to quilt their quilts or do you just use machine quilting... free motion ... stitch in the ditch....
What other methods of quilting do you use???
I am getting ready to post my fall convergence called "Nature's Confetti". On it I used one of my decorative stitches for quilting and on my totes I use decorative stitching. ritzy
I rarely stitch in the ditch. I often use my decorative stitches and stitch on top of the ditch. I have one that is a loop (stitch #730 on my 730). I can then invert that for the next stitch and save that combination in my memory. It is my favorite combination. Now that I have the BSR, I enjoy using that, too, and often combine both techniques in the same quilt; i.e. stipple the border or sew free motion loops in the border. Another stitch that is really nice for stitching over the ditch is #113.
