Elle, that is exactly what I am thinking about doing...using the machine to do the QITD when I attach the back. Your sewing lady is right...when you use that stitch- one stitch is brought up and is visible (the bobbin) and then the next stitch doesn't show (monofiliment). I was thinking about doing the between tris with it..but I'm wavering. If I do, then I can't say it is "hand quilted". I feel like I can still say that if I only do the QITD part to attach the backing.
Kathy...I'd love to come visit the "end of nowhere"! We can break out any beverage you would like and we'll switch between laughing at your stitches and mine :lol:!!
Lesley, thanks, I'll go check that out.
