All Thumbs

Yes, a few years ago I ordered a huge $100 roll of Warm and Natural from JoAnns (on sale at the time). Would you believe I am still using it albeit the end is coming soon. Also, at Hancocks I noticed they had Warm and White recently; I have not had bad luck with that for my charity quilts. They (who ever they is) say it is made by the same company but I am not so sure because of the way some of my meandering came out. Of course, the fabric and thread do make a different too. I use Gutermann's for piecing and Signature for machine quilting.

I have been told, however, that when making quilts for the battered women's center, they prefer the lighter weight batting in blankets because it does not take so much time in the dryer. Makes sense to save electrical expenses. For those quilts with less dense batting, I use a walking foot and do a straight cross-hatch stitch for quilting. It turns out okay.

But, like I said earlier, if I am going to spend time doing some nice free motion quilting, it is Warm and Natural every time.
Thanks for asking and good luck.

What do you all set your tension on?
I don't like the taste of wine or any other drinks that would help so that out for me.....

does tension make that much diference, I thought you control the stiches not the mecheine.
