2 Questions About Backing/Bobbin Thread
Hi - Two questions for y'all, please. (1) If you are using a different color bobbin thread on the longarm than the top, will it show through on quilt top? I have always used the same color. (2) My friend makes T-shirt quilts. She does not like a seam on the back, so she buys blankets at Wal-Mart. One brand that she uses is totally fine. When it is a big T-shirt quilt, that brand will not work so she buys another one so that I will have the extra inches I need on the long-arm, and that particular blanket has long fibers on the back that seemed to find their way through the needle holes a tad to the quilt top. I did not like it, but she is okay with it. Does fleece come in a 108 width? I could not find any. What about flannel? Does it knot up after a while? Anything else in 108 width that is like fleece? Is there a remedy for long fibers coming through. It's only that particular blanket that I have had trouble with.
Thanks,
LaDonna
