so, educate me. when you hand piece. as i was last nite to make a block come out right. 1/2 way thru. do you use one strand of thread or two? and when you hand quilt, do you use one strand of thread or two? and, i know you knot the thread, and then pull it into the batting. what about when you hand piece? knot or not? and I found out i like to use one strand of thread when appliquing. right or wrong?
i found and rescued a l930's quilt 5 yrs ago or so, when i lst started quilting. it had been hand pieced. 2 strands. larger stitches.... sooo when i hand quilted it QID... i used 2 strands of thread, and sorta repaired as i went. to tighten up the orginal stitchess. worked good. my point---in 1930 she used 2 strands of cotton thread to piece with.
I'll go find it. and share......
