Don't laugh but the tough part for me is thread-handling - knotting & burying my threads.
Yesterday I realized that the last 3 feet of stitching was no stitching at all --- ran out of bobbin thread. Turned the back over and found more than a few threads that needed treatment, so I walked out of my sewing room. It was such an automatic reaction haha.
I decided to take up the challenge today which I did and now I am ready to proceed with the rest of the quilting.
So: thread problems - that's where I go off the rails.
K-roll! This used to be my worst nightmare. I really disliked the "knot and bury" part of quilting until I started using the "self-threading" needles. Now it is a snap and I no longer dislike that part of quilting.
I have tried the "top" insert type and the "side" insert type and I prefer the side threading needles the best. Just purchased a whole set. They are a bit expensive but give it a try. They are really worth it! IMHO! Yolanda
