I have always used a walking foot and the little bar(guide) you attach to the pressure foot and is adjustable for whatever width you want. For crosshatching I would start in the center and stitch diagonally on the quilt, then go to the next row and so forth. I would stitch from the center out on each side.

Don't be too hard on yourself if you are new to quilting. Practice helps and it has taken trial and error for each of us to get where we are today and where we will be tomorrow When quilting a sandwiched quilt a walking foot makes a world of difference. When stitching straight lines I use a piece of copy paper cut to the width I need and then place one edge against the seam and stitch along the other edge. I also use this method when stitching across a block and move it from from to block across the quilt. If I stitch into the paper I just through it away and cut a new piece of paper. Now that there are rulers for quilting you could use a ruler edge and do the same thing.

Did you use a walking foot or does this machine have a built in one. I usually use a Clover Hera marker

and than I can follow the line. It is a process for each quilter to find what works best for them.

I have to remind myself not to watch the needle. That almost always gets me in trouble. You have to keep your eye on the edge of the presser foot, or the marking on the metal plate, or some other place, just not the needle.
