Welcome to the Quilting Board!
yesterday i finished a little lap quilt and the fabric is dark. I tried to draw my lines so I could quilt it on MY NEW JUKI 2010 LOL THAT I LOVE just saying. now here is the question the backing is light and will show up my lines has any one quilted from the back of the quilt and not the front crazy question huh the front of the quilt will not show me the marks i made but stand out on the back thank you for everyones advise on my juki it is really a workhorse
there is no reason you cannot quilt from the back I have done it
I have heard of quilters doing this. Some folks use a print backing & quilt on the printed pattern. It just depends on how nice your bobbin stitches look.

ok thanks all i am off to quilting I knew I could count on this forum members you all have helped me so much
they even sell backing fabrics with quilt designs printed on them.
I've quilted quilts from the back, especially if the backing has a cute design I can follow!
I have followed the pattern on my backing for quilting design and it worked great!
I have quilted from the back before especially when it is easier to see the lines drawn. Just makes sure to check everything before you start.

I've also quilted on the back. For some reason my bobbin stitches actually look better so I quilt from the back when it works out for the quilt.

Your quilt! Your choice. Have seen some really pretty ones done that way! Often the backing designs works for the quilting pattern. Anxious to see when you're finished!
