Newbie quilt question - using embroidery outline stitch for neat hand-quilting?
Hi all, I知 a new quilter working on a sisters choice table runner kit. The piecing has come together nicely and I知 finally at the stage of quilting. I知 hand quilting it. I am nervous that my quilting stitches are too messy and uneven and I知 wondering if any of you ever use embroidery outline or stem stitches (which are very neat) to quilt instead of standard quilting stitches when quilting by hand. I have a lot more experience with embroidery.
I searched the web and can稚 find much on this topic. I mostly see advice about adding embroidered designs to quilt tops. I知 instead thinking of using a standard embroidery stitch in place of the standard quilt stitch. It seems I could do an outline stitch with 50 weight quilt thread and it will turn out neater than using a quilting stitch.
