Can you quilt with back side up?
#31
Quilting from the back also gives you a chance to experiment with different weights of thread in your bobbin to show up better on the top. Laura Heine does this often. Her book Color Fushion has some projects that advocate quilting from back. You are going to like the results. I know, marking can be such a bother with the beautiful fabrics that are out there. Have fun and let us see what you came up with.
