Big Stitch Quilting
Hope someone has the answer to this question. How do you bury the knot when doing big stitch quilting? I am going to be quilting through batik, and have found a need that will go through the fabric and batting with perl cotton. But I can't pop the knot through. Any help appreciated

You bury the knot the same way as in regular hand quilting. If the knot won't pop through you may need to make the hole slightly bigger by using the tip of the needle in the hole where the knot should go. Put the needle in and sort of wiggle it around a bit. This will move the threads of the fabric aside and the knot will slip in. I would also make sure the knot is not too big. A quilters knot is ting compared to a knot created by rolling the thread between your fingers.
