When I need to "stitch in the ditch" I frequently use a meandering stitch. It looks great and because it meanders in and out you don't have to be perfectly "in the ditch"
I have used a couple of those type stitches for "in the ditch" quilting.

I'm new to quilting and can't get the hang of curved lines yet, so I stick to stitching in the ditch. Recently I did a wall hanging with echo quilting (it was paper pieced, so there weren't any curved lines to echo).

A regular SID is straight. I think if you meander a SID it would mean you just kind wander back and forth across your ditch instead of trying to make it go straight(kind or curvy line). I have seen this around applique's. Great idea. That way you aren't trying to make a perfectly straight line. Others may have a different take on this.
