Okay I do most of my pieceing by hand. But, I was wondering if you guys who piece on machines, stay stitch?
|
Only when I'm done piecing and only if I have a pieced outside border, like a piano key. I stay stitch the perimeter.
|
I stay stitch the outside border before sandwiching the quilt. I also sew the layers together around the outside of the quilt before quilting.
|
only on a case by case basis - if i feel the edges will shift i stay stitch otherwise i don't bother with an extra step
|
I did once when I knew it was going to get washed before I could sandwich it. Other than that, no.
|
If the seam will be crossed by another seam, no, I don't take the time. But, open edges I will just to keep seams from pulling apart while handling for sandwiching and quilting, unless I'm using a solid border. Then I also just leave that.
|
no......
|
Haven't needed to so far.
|
rarely
|
I would only stay stitch if I had bias edges for some reason. I have a vintage quilt top now that has bias edges. I will stay stitch before I do anything with it.
