I've been experimenting with English Paper Piecing (my first time) for the last few days. I have some questions?

How do you keep your stitches tight? I have 'gaps' between each piece when I open them up after I stitch them. I've tried a fine thread and a clear plastic thread. I'm thinking to move to regular sewing thread that matches in color.

What type of thread do you use?

How about the 'stitch' itself? Do you use the classic whip stitch? Or another method? I experimented with the 'feather stitch' a little too...

Any other insights?

Thanks!
