I'd "stitch in the ditch" that quilt. As your machine does straight stitches it should work. I stitched in the ditch my Tshirt quilt, pic. in the album.

I agree with Mamaquilt, SITD would look great. I SITD all the time :-) haven't figured out FMQ yet!
I made my first quilts on a $99.00 machine from Target that had quilting stitches and a quilting foot (like a darning foot I guess). It still works fine. I even made a king sized quilt on it.
I like your quilt. I don't know anything about tying a quilt. When I can't machine quilt, I hand quilt.
Good luck!
I agree here with Sandy. I also would add that you could do tacking with your machine instead of tying if it is too hard on your hand/finger. I have do that before--- I used a decorative stitch scattered all over the quilt. It came out beautifulQuote:

I tried a sample to hand quilt it but I think you could see the stitches from the moon :) hehe! Though I have found a lady that will professionally quilt it for only 100 so that's not too bad and I've been on a hunt on ebay so look out I'll be a machine quilting pro asap! :) Thanks for all the help ladies! Thank goodness for the forum!
