It depends .. if I have a top that has lots of seams on the perimeter and I am attaching a border .. yep I do stay stitch. Same goes for wone the entire top is finished I stay stitch around the perimeter. Once in a while a block may have seams that I want to make sure are all laying a certain way , I will stay stitch around the block , or if I am putting big sections together, sometimes the weight will pull the seams before they go through the machine.
I will do some bias edges with my walking foot to help keep them from stretching . Stay stitching can save lots of aggrivation down the road.... and it takes so little time. |
Only when necessary.

never have.....but never thought I needed to, either.
|
I do for bias edges, the perimeter of my quilt before binding, and any other time that I think it may be a good idea :D:D:D
|
only if I have too
|
I was taught to stay stitch for fabrics that ravel easily, curves and biases. I often do. In many cases, however, spray sizing, pressing and gentle handling will take care of the matter.
|
NO ! Of course I don't pin either..lol..unless I absolutely have to stick one in for a seam or something!!
|
I have stay stitched after quilting but before trimming batting & backing. I find it easier to add the binding.
