Does anyone know what reinforcement stitch I should use for stitching in the ditch with my walking foot on my Baby Lock quilting machine? I do know that I can not reverse stitch with this foot. Maybe a zig zag stitch would work. I am not sure.

Does your machine have a locking stitch? If so, use that. Otherwise, do as amma says and reduce your stitch length to .05 or as low as it goes and then lay down 3-5 stitches on top of each other. Then, with the needle still down, reset the stitch length to whatever you want and then sew away. When you get to the end, reverse. Decrease the stitch length then do 3-5 stitches to lock it.

Hi Mini,
I have a Babylock (Elleure). If you scroll through your stitch selector you'll probably find a straight stitch with a P above it and a small dot. The P signifies it is a stitch for piecing and the small dot represents a locking stitch. That is the stitch you should be using.
