One note: Most folks on the board and those folks who have been teachers of mine do NOT recommend using clear or smoky monofilament for the bobbin...too many tension issues since it stretches under tension.
Vicky S: Thank you! Sadly, it never even occurred to me to test drive different threads....and that is precisely what I will now do.
QuiltE: I love the idea of using green
and purple on that wild pink back. Thanks!
