Bed Runner complete - but how to quilt ?
I am fairly early on in my quilting journey (I only got my first machine at Christmas). I’ve finished my bed runner which I was using as a way to learn different techniques. Now I’ve got to quilt it but not sure what to do. I’ve done SID before which I can do and I have used my walking foot to do ‘cross hatching’ across smaller square projects. I’ve tried FMQ once which was a disaster but I have a class on this in 5 weeks time so I can practice that on smaller pieces. Is there anything more interesting I can do with my walking foot other than SID?

Does your machine have a serpentine stitch? That works well with a walking foot. Or any kind of straight lines really, doesn’t have to be SID, you can echo stitch with a walking foot. In the photo below I added some triangles to the borders with my walking foot.

Hi Oh Canada - I think it does but I never thought of using some different stitches with the walking foot! I'm going to do a trial on a scrap tomorrow - thank you so much for the idea! Triangles is a nice idea as well.
