Straight-line machine quilting technique
I just posted this question on another thread showing a beautiful english paper-pieced quilt that was done with cross-hatching of the white background but stopped where it meets applique'd pattern of a different color. I'm wondering if most people pull threads up to bury the knot after each stop? I would like to know how that is done and how many people do it vs shortening stitch length or doing a back-stitch. The post today entitled "english paper piecing" looks as tho the knots were buried. I love the look but honestly can't see myself doing row upon row and burying the thread at each stop. Would love to know what that is like to do and also your preferred method.
