Really dumb question about machine quilting borders
I am doing my first (last?) machine quilt using a top pieced together by my Grandmother. it's sort of a modified
snowball design with a dark green border. I was planning to use white quilting thread because all of the fabric except the border are light. But here's my dumb question. If I use white thread to quilt the interior, what do I do when I come to
the border? I was told to make sure I sew over the border so the binding will cover my thread ends. On a hand quilt I would just do some design on the border in green. Any idea? Has anyone ever been thrown off this board for stupidity?
