Joining Your Pieces
I prefer to use a good quality poly thread for the piecing as I find a regular cotton thread frays very quickly with constantly being pulled through the fabric, but the choice as always is up to you.
To avoid tangling don’t cut your threads too long and occasionally during piecing hold your work up and let the needle hang to unwind the thread. I choose a thread that matches one of the fabrics I am piecing together and take reasonably small stitches (Pic 6) but don’t worry too much your stitches will show a little and after all if you go to the trouble of hand piecing something it’s not such a bad thing that people know it
:wink:
