When I made my first and second bunches of project bags, I used several lines of quilting to secure the iron-on interfacing and give more structure to the sides of the bags.
Here's a built-in, analog app I used to make fairly evenly-spaced lines of quilting:
This takes a light touch--you really don't want to press against the pressure foot, nor down on the traveling fabric. I don't think I'd ever use this technique on a quilt (never say "never"!), but for these bags it was a perfect, and quick, way to get those straight lines of stitching knocked out.
If not a rule of thumb, then a rule of finger!
