I have never been successful using this option because the quilt that you quilt straight lines on has to be perfectly straight itself. And we know that that is often a rarity no matter how hard we strive to achieve it!<\/p>\n<p>As I assess the situation I decide that this quilt has a lot of white space which will allow me to fudge straight lines a little. Luckily, though, it seems to be square and straight. I smile to myself because maybe all these years of my practicing is paying off! As I start to channel lock, its all going rather smoothly and quickly. I walk the long arm from one end of the quilt to the other laying down straight lines 1&#8243; apart. It&#8217;s looking pretty cool until I notice that one long vertical seam runs parallel to the channels right smack dab in the middle creating an annoying hump &#8211; ugh!<\/p>\n<p>What to do &#8211; what to do&#8230; I&#8217;m going to have to fill the channels and camouflage that hump now.\u00a0 So I contemplate &#8211; and worry about time&#8230; Finally I decide there&#8217;s no hope for it. I am\u00a0 just going to have to add some more quilting &#8211; so much for easy and quick. I start adding half-feathers in the channels.<\/p>\n<p>I think it looks pretty cool &#8211; time crunch aside. I am happy. But I really need to get back to work!
