This is interesting...might have to try it. Do all sewing machines have different sides of the tension disc? I have been sewing for years...first time I even thought of this!

I am going to have try this. I wonder how it would work on my Brother since I can see the tension disks etc they are all hidden. Vintage machine maybe?

I have been able to put 2 Aurifil threads through an 80/12 needle and had no problem. I want to try the double eye needle and see what that looks like as well.

I just did some finishing using a feather stitch. I used two threads through the needle and used pearlized thread in the bobbin. Really pretty finish!

I've never heard of this technique. Need to experiment and see what it looks like.

Me too! I'm intrigued!

This sounds fascinating . Needle 80/12 but do. You thread through needle as one or separately?must try on my present quilt.

I'm anxious to try this.....It sounds wonderful and will add a lot of detail. Thanks for this idea.

It doesn't matter if you can't see the tension disks. Just treat the two threads as if they were a single thread.
