How to quilt this.
I have machine pieced a log cabin quilt. I would like to try to machine quilt it but when I started stitching in the ditch it puckered on me when I got to the end of the stitch. (meeting another stitch ) I had to pick it out and guess I will need to hand piece. Can someone tell me how you start to quilt a log cabin? I sure hate to hand piece this thing. Thank you so much.

I only basted with the 505 basting spray. I did not use a walking foot. Seems like I need to go back to school. I knew you all would know what I was doing wrong. I will baste with pins, attach my walking foot and lenghten my stitch. I have a Babyloc, would 4 be long enough or is that just a personal decision. Thanks to you all for your help. I should have known better I guess. Short cuts just do not work.

Not everyone bastes with pins, some sew baste, some use glue, some spray. There is not a wrong or right way, just different ways that may work for you. I've never used spray, and have a Pfaff with IDT, so no walking foot. The stitch length, thread and needle type also enter into it. Good luck.
