So far I have only done stitch-in-the-ditch and straight-line grid quilting. Have not ventured into free motion but that's my goal for this year.
I roll up half the quilt and start in the center working along the lines to the edge. Then I reroll the quilted side and do the other side. Same with the other direction. I actually like the way they come out and they wash fabulously, but then, mine are utility quilts - no muss no fuss.

OK...even though you did say you were a Vols fan...and I'm a Memphis fan...I will help you just as if you hadn't told me... :lol: :lol: :wink:
When machine quilting...I generally loosely wad up one side of the quilt...stuff it into the throat of the machine and start with the straight line quilting in a place fairly close to the middle of the quilt. I do all the straight line quilting first- from the center sections outwards. This "locks" the fabric in place so to speak for me. After I have all the sections straight line (in the ditch) quilted, I will go back to do my other designs.
Good luck with your quilt...would love to see your pics of it!
