Stitch in the Ditch | What Does that Even Mean?

Machine quilters often talk about the term, Stitch in the Ditch (also known as SID). In this video I talk about when or how a machine quilter would use it to emphasize a quilt block.

This video is a part of my series, Knowing Your Sewing Machine, where I show real time quilting and real problems and challenges I have with machine quilting, and how I learned how to troubleshoot the issues!
