I belong to a Small Quilt group on Facebook that has monthly challenges and mystery quilts. The piece I am currently working on has applique in the final border. I have done Machine applique and raw edge applique before but have never been happy with the outcome, so I have been watching Youtube and have been working on Needle Turn Applique today.
So ... here is my question to all you ladies that do Needle Turn - What needles and thread do you use and why? I used a "basic needle" but I found it was not thin or sharp enough (imho) and I used a coordinating thread from my stash of machine embroidery thread which seemed to work OK as it was thinner than my cotton thread. My hearts and flowers came out OK - not perfect but my leaves were questionable lol.
Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated - I might as well learn something new in these "stay at home" times
