I just switched from my Viking, which I love, to trying out my embroidery machine ( Babylock) with a ton more stitches. I like the serpentine. I'll have to look to see if I have that.

I've used the serpentine stitch also. The one thing I found is that when I get to a thick spot, it slows down the machine's forward progress, then the wavy stitches aren't even, some are long and others are short. That's why I've stayed away from doing this.

I like using a feather stitch for SID. Any of your deco stitches will look good. Try them all out on scrap and see what you like.

I do my binding by machine and use invisible tread in the bottom, while you can still see the stitching there is no color to distract from the appearance.

It really depends on what the project is I'm working on. I use straight stitch when I am doing something "elegant" and I will use different decorative stitches on other projects.
