Many thanks to you all. You have broadened my knowledge of hand quilting and I truely appreciate your sharing. I just finished quilting my table topper and will attach the binding today, then, into the wash. I am praying all the little tufts of WN disappear! I will definitely look for Thread Heaven next time I'm in the fabric store. My next quilting project is waiting in the wings for it's chance on the quilting frame. I am grateful for you all !! :-D
