I have always wondered about the need to cut the threads. Do you cut your threads shorter or leave them dangle on the back of a quilt?
If you cut them - why?
I know this is going to make me sound crazy - maybe I am even lazy, but if the quilt is sandwiched and quilted and bound - who sees the threads and who is going to open it up to look?
I understand when there is dark thread and light fabric - it can show through.
I guess what I have wondered about is if there is a practical reason for cutting them? Would they cause the fabric to wear out or maybe it would someday work its way out a seam?
