I have done a couple quilts where I used variegated thread to quilt, then the same thread to bind.

Such an interesting idea, Eva, to use 2 threads. And using the 9/14 topstitch needle as quilterpurpledog (post #10) suggested is another great idea!

Interesting topic today.

How neat is that!

I am going to have to try this double thread idea. I learn the most interesting things from the members on this board.
Thank you.

Sounds like a real challenge to put 2 threads in the eye of a needle, I have trouble with one some times
