I don't have a WF, and do all my own quilting, on quilts which are mostly 60x80, so not terribly big. I use a zigzag stitch, and use the pattern of blocks as my guide. This is what works best for me. I have tried FM, but I don't have the patience to keep practicing, so I went back to my own method. It works for me, and everyone who gets them, doesn't mind. Whatever works for you, is great. You just have to find that choice, and with all the good advice you get here, you will find it. Enjoy!!!
