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! </SPAN>

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

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.
