Another great way to add interesting quilting with a walking foot or regular sewing foot is to stitch a series of straight lines spaced very close together over the surface of your entire quilt. This is sometimes called 'matchstick quilting' and is a very popular design to use for modern quilting.
To machine quilt matchstick lines, simply start on one side of the quilt and stitch a line from one end to the other. Don't worry about keeping your lines completely straight. Organic, imperfect lines actually add more interest to the quilt! Continue stitching in the same direction all the way across the quilt. You can periodically mark a straight line with painter's tape to keep the lines going in roughly the same direction.
Quilting lines spaced further apart look great on quilts with large amounts of background negative space. They can be quilted at a diagonal angle across the quilt to add interest and break up the space.
So don't feel limited if you can't or don't wish to free-motion quilt your creations. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity, and it all starts with a straight line.
You can quilt slightly wavy lines with a walking foot as well. The lines don't have to be even and they don't even or planned out to add dimension to your quilt.

Selecting a Border Pattern While there are a number of border patterns available, how well any one fits your project makes a difference. Let the style, layout and color scheme of your quilt design guide your choice of border. A medallion quilt in gentle pastels would be better complimented by a subtle, rounded border pattern than an angular, abstract design, for instance.
Your stitching skills should match your border pattern too. For the best results, make sure your machine or hand-quilting ability matches the border's intricacies. Template-ready border patterns are the most convenient from which to work.
