Have you ever quilted from the back of your quilt?
Connecting Threads has a wide backing fabric with a perfect pattern for machine quilting a stipple pattern on the quilt....from the back! It's been years since I've done this, in the late 90s early 2000s, when there were several different printed fabrics for just this sort of thing. Great help for those of us who need the help this would provide.

One would have to go slowly, but from the front, it probably wouldn't matter if you missed some of the lines. Using the same color thread as the background of the backing fabric -- if it complemented the front -- would help hide mistakes, I'd imagine.

I have some fabric that is marked for Quilting. It is muslin and I love it. I purchased it at a quilt shop in Fulton, Illinois that has since closed. It was a wonderful shop and very successful..just had health issues. Still sadly missed.

When I made my DH's quilt for our 40th anniversary, I used a large fleece scenic panel for the backing. It was of a marsh scene with ducks and a goose flying in for a landing, and a moose in the foreground. Since the front of the quilt was different sized blocks representing memories of our years together, I quilted the marsh scene from the back. It turned out great.
