ckcowl is correct. Once it is on the frame of the LA and stay stitched an open design can be controlled by a bit of hand pressure on the quilt as it is being quilted.

I won't be doing it on a LA. I was just asking for advise from those that probably have experienced it.

I just did a chevron quilt, but I used half square triangles. My bias was all on the inside of the quilt top. You can stay stitch around the quilt top being very careful not to stretch it. I do this to almost all of my quilts.
