Wonderful advice. Thankyou all & for the nice welcome. I have given "stab stitch" a try but like Kat Sews, was a bit concerned about finding just the right spot to come up from the back. I even crawled on the floor to have a look (I'm using a "Grace Quilting Frame"). Then I decided to just come up as close to my thread as possible. It worked & I'm not going to worry if it's in a perfect position or not when I check the back on my finished quilt.
I also tried the fake backstitch & for the 2 or 3 stitches it worked fine also.
Next time I'll make sure to take fat seams into consideration when marking my quilt pattern. Has anyone tried to use a curved needle for this? I'll give that a try also on my next fat seam & will let you know if that could be an alternative method.
Hinterland gave sound advice when she said that "Life is too short to worry about it." Sometimes I am too much of a perfectionist. Sigh!
Cheers, LindaA
