I am quite new to machine quilting and not sure about which thread I should be using - the first quilt I used Star 100% cotton - don't remember the weight - but I know it was balling up and breaking alot when I was free motion quilting - might have been the 301 I was soing with - I have since switched to a Singer 15-91 - the start thread was fine for the piecework -but for the free motion, I will be using Sulky this time. Any thought certainly would be appreciated. I love doing free motion - this time I am getting gutsy and doing it with several different colors :)
All info would certainly be appreciated Thanks Patricia |
Deb, this will be gorgeous. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

I was wondering about the thread. I have always used the Robison Anton Rayon. Suebee - it is called Summer 2012 Bakit Sampler #5178 They are the FQ at $41.76 And you can also order the fabric by yard for $6.96.
I got an email from CT today, advertising their new solid & mirage samplers & all I can say is... YUM! Check'em out... http://www.connectingthreads.com/cfp...MirageSamplers |

It was the first time I did the sampler myself. I usually hit the Quilters candy - I love the Mirage collections. They blend in so well with all of the other fabric in my stash.

Are they called Spring Batiks?, just went to their site and I didnt see anything called spring batiks :(
I got the charms in my last order & they are stunning! I'm thinking about getting a couple of jelly rolls to make a 1600! |
I bought a package of charm squares from each of the fabric collections plus all the solids too. I have about 4 collections of charm squares I bought from Missouri Star last winter so when I finish all my projects that are laying around, I plan on doing some of these charm square quilts. The fabric charm squares I bought are really beautiful.

Deb, I just discovered shadow trapunto and now you show me shadow appliqué. Well, there's always the doll quilt swap to try it. Fortunately, the 5 yards of skitter organza I bought for my niece's wedding dress is still in my sewing room. She changed her mine, and I thought. "well, there are still three more". That was five years ago. And yes, the merry go around is turning and will complete its rotation by the end of next week.
Since I know nothing about any new techniques, clearly I need to get out more, LOL. |
Wow! What a beautiful block. Thanks for showing us.
