Quilting X's
#1

When I was working on a rag quilt I had to stitch x's across each block. The first time I did it, I used my ruler and marked it with a pencil (it didn't mark well). After that I just tried to wing it. What I ended up with..some off centered x's. What is the normal process for doing this?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't know what normal is, but my suggestion is to use masking tape or painters tape. Tape it right on the quilt top, use is as your guide as you sew a straight line, then pull it off and re-use it for the next line.
