I think I am ready to sandwich which scares me!

I do the same except I use 505 basting spray.

I'm working now on a quilt that I started to do the stitch in the ditch and it looked terrible - could not keep it in the ditch. So, I'm using the serpentine stitch - a long wavy line going over the seam. Looks so much better and I don't have to worry about keeping the stitching line even, I just aim the seam through the center of the walking foot.

I used the serpentine stitch instead of SITD on a baby quilt and it was so much easier, faster, and a whole lot less stress!
