I use this stitch on most of my quilts that I quilt myself. Love how the quilts look after being washed once there quilted.

Must try this stitch on my next quilt that doesn't need custom quilting.

Wish mine looked anything like this neat, the wiggle starts with my arms and works its way down my bodly ( I have a longarm) and I am sure looks extremely funny from behind. I have a friend that does this stitch very neatly, but mine looks wacky.

If anyone has a Janome 6600P and knows the machine settings to do this stitch, would you please post it here (mode, stitch number, etc.)? I have had this machine for about 4-5 years and have done nothing but straight stitching on it.

Thanks so much for your time!

Suzanne, I looked at the stitch chart for your 6600P and did not see the serpentine stitch. #29 "looks" close but the Serpentine icon looks like the default stitch-out that I demonstrated on my stitch-out pictured. Maybe you can play with your stitch. Add stitch length and decrease the stitch width. Good luck!

I have a Janome 6600 and haven't looked for that stitch but you have peaked my interest and I will have to look for it. If I know I have it on my machine, I will try and let you know. I usually just straight stitch on my machine.

Look on page 2 of this post Kris says the number is 26 on the Janome 6600.

I did my first serpentine stitch quilt last year. One of the ladies in my Tuesday group uses it for almost all her donation quilts and it looks remarkably good and suited for the project each time with very little fiddling with the width and length. My vintage machine didn't have the option but my Bernina does, it was simple and easy to do.

I find it works very well with the current large grid type of projects using rectangles and squares and/or sashing. Plan on using again. I also think it does a good job of reinforcing the seam strength if maybe there are fraying or other issues.

My vintage machine didn't have the option. I know some of you are talented and can just do this sort of thing free hand, but I am not consistent enough to suit me, I would have to draw and follow lines but with the built in stitch I just have to point in a general direction, which for me is a seam line.

I love the idea to use serpentine stitch for SID. Will try!

The "web" gives me an idea--to use other automated stitches...
