quilting borders
#12
I love 'piano keys'-- horizontal lines about an inch apart. However, if you are using a walking foot they require a lot of turning! Either that or a lot of thread cutting and starting over.
Why not try FMQ? Borders are the easiest! You just squiggle or curlicue down the length of them and it looks great. I've done this on many of the quilts in my album (in my profile, here.)

First, let me say it's a beautiful red/white/blue table runner. I would have done SID around the stars also. As far as the borders, I've used the rope design as the gentle curves work great with the walking foot. I've often used the quilting papers that you pin down, then sew along the design lines and tear the paper off. You get a great design and it's easy. Just a thought.
