Quilting the Chanel Jacket panels

Only knowing that you're supposed to quilt the two-layer fabric panels but not knowing HOW, I made up my own method:
1. Pin lining and fashion fabric together through the center and around the edges to avoid slippage.
2. Use a walking foot (in my case, a 'multi-layer foot').
3. Start quilting at the center and then alternate stitching the quilting lines on both sides of that center line. Stitch in the same direction each time - don't go back and forth.

I'm glad that I started with the side backs. My fabric warp threads are so multi-colored  and nubby that my initial panel has significantly wandering quilting lines since I didn't mark it. So for the second panel, I ran a white basting thread through the center to follow.

This is the first panel quilted - lining side up - and my white basting thread in panel #2.  That did make a difference. It was also easier if I just kept going and watched slightly forward of where I was sewing. That seemed to keep me on track.

TOTAL TIME for first two panels -- 1 1/2 hours (including 15 minutes to figure out the walking foot!)
