I am a quilter for the last 20 years or so. I am also a Realtor and haven't done much quilting in 8 years. As we all know the real estate market is in terrible condition and so I have had a lot of extra time on my hands for the last 14 months. I have sewn quite a few table runners and baby quilt tops and have been binding these last few weeks. My problem is this - I can see all of my stitches and it is making me crazy! My old quilts have invisible stitches on my bindings - I have checked! I don't know what I have changed but something is off. I use Aurifil 50 wt. for piecing and regular all purpose or dual duty to stitch my bindings down. I match my thread color to the binding fabric as closely as I can to help hide stitches, it's just not working. What type of thread and stitches are you fabulous quilt artists using? Please let me know.....I want to finish off these projects and they aren't leaving my house with the bindings showing big ugly stitiches! Thanks!
