I forgot that part...I keep my stitch length small also; it's 2.0 on my Pfaff
|
I started using a 2.0 stitch length because sometimes when I press where there are cross seams, they would start to come apart. Once you get it all pieced, sandwiched and quilted, it should be pretty secure. If I remember to, I backstitch on outer blocks and I try to on borders too.

Yes, I tie all my threads. Drives my daughters crazy as they help me tie them sometimes. :)

No, I don't tie my threads. I can't even imagine.

This is the methods that I use. When sewing Y type seams you do not sew clear to the edge of the fabric but stop at the 1/4 inch point. There are some areas on the back of your quilt top where seams join. If you unstitch a few stitches you then can make the intersection of fabric lay much flatter. There are several threads regarding this topic available. Pam M |
If sewing by hand, I take a sm backstitch. By machine, no, the piecing of cross seams will secure the seam.

no way i would tie all my threads just the thought of it makes me laugh or cry not sure which
