Quilt Thread Color? Quilting on a Janome Magnolia New Home
I finished Mr. Chillingsworth yesterday, after 2 years of having it. (wow, lot's of procrastination...then I met my mom's best friend from high school and she's made over 80 quilts plus other needlework). I decided to finish up mine. 2 more to go.
Anyway, Mr. Chillingsworth, mine, is around 62 x 68. I have a Janome Magnolia that quilts surprisingly well. Mr. Chillingsworth will have a black back, he has black sashing, and after tonight, a black border. I had to split the picture, sorry. I was going to send him to Missouri Star to quilt, but the thread choices! I live less than an hr. from Hamilton, MO. This will be my first time to have a quilt large enough to send out. But my machine can do it too.
He has parts where he should be quilted in black and then in grey or white. How do you choose what thread to choose? I could also do it myself. I finished a baby quilt from a class in 2002 last night. (Home Machine Quilting-the class where I discovered my mom's Viking was unable to quilt.) The Janome did great with the walking foot. Or should I use a different back? White thread won't look good on the black sashing and border. I know how to sew on binding. I made Wear Warm Clothes back in 1998, when my mom' Viking could quilt.
