Any tips? Tricks? helps you can give, greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
I do machine applique (satin stitch) and use batiks. It reduces the fraying and I have an industrial Singer (40+) years old. I use the titanium needles that fit my machine and can do many many many quilts with the same needle. I did send out a top for machine quilting and the quilter complained about breaking needles.She was trying to quilt over the satin stitch is a big nono.
