patchwork

Something that might help next time. Do you have a thread cutter on your machine?. Since I have had one, I don't have strings to deal with. Also shorten your stitch length . If you are sending it to a longarmer, Please trim. It is impossible to get the threads out of the way and when I quilt for people, I hate having to leave them in because the show badly especially if they are dark threads. also, if it is a pieced border, sew a stay stitch around the quilt. keeps those edges from coming apart.
