Nice explanation of stitching in the ditch, which has not worked for me in the past.

I have done straight stitching on quilts before, but I started from the center of the quilt instead of using this quadrant method. I will try this way next time. I also liked the tip to lower the stitch length to start off - I have been backstitching! This is much neater and more professional. Thank you!
