Best thread ever! I never do any of the things you all mentioned. Or at least if I did I'd never tell, I'm actually afraid of the quilt police. Early on in a class a lady told me I needed to cut all the threads on the back of my just finished quilt top and that I shouldn't hold it up to show the class until I did. Never mind that no one else cut their threads. I've seen the quilt police and I'm afraid, very afraid LoL.
