Question about meander quilting
I made a table runner and I am trying to decide just how to quilt it. But first I have a question for all of you who use their sewing machines to quilt. When you meander quilt or stipple quilt something do you also straight line quilt (stitch in the ditch) along the straight seams first?

Meandering/stippling combined with some SITD can create some great looks, but isn't necessary. It just depends where the straight lines are...a border would be a great place for SITD with stippling in the main part of the quilt and an simple design inside the border. But that is my opinion and each quilt has different quilting needs.

If STID of the blocks, and borders - even if I am doing an all-over meander/stipple. I was taught to do this to help stabilize the layers, allow me to remove some pin basting, and to help prevent excess shifting of layers.
I no longer do a lot of quilting on my DSM because I rent time on a longarm at my LQS.

I took a Craftsy class, and the instructor (can't remember her name) would say ESS--every stinkin' seam! Meaning SITD on every seam in your quilt before doing any other quilting! I usually only do around the basic block but it sure helps in stabilizing the quilt for FMQ.
