Absolutely spot on Ploshie.
Yes I stabilise before starting the quilting...
Two lines for a small quilt, horizontal and vertical through the middle, 6 lines for a bigger quilt, adding two diagonal lines corner to corner to the previous
A bright thread that is easy to distinguish from the regular quilting ... I generally use a Bright orange Moon thread,
And the biggest stitch length, mine is 5, to make the stitches easy to remove
When quilting I use a 3.5 SL ... I want these stitches to show and it makes them easier to remove if i *** up!
If Im 'drawing' with the quilting, as in the octopus, shell, fish etc in the Tutorial, I will shorten the SL so I can achieve the curves.
Generally I like Cross hatching the squares ... simple but very effective
