So funny Martina! We have such a habit of that don't we? I have never used the water soluble thread before but I can see me doing the same thing. Thanks for the chuckle!

So far, I am not able to do Free-motion Quilting yet so all of my quilts are Stitch-in-the ditch. I like the look of the straight lines being quilted - sometimes a diagonal across. However, as someone already pointed out, the batting tells you how far apart it NEEDS to be quilted. I use Warm and Natural because it allows a larger open space. Sometimes, I combine SID with tied centers.
I remember when I tried the water soluble thread on a trapunto: I had trouble getting the needle threaded. OK - what do we do when we can't thread a needle? WE LICK THE THREAD. Not such a smart idea when using the water soluble. hahahahaha.
