Lesson I learned about pebble quilting
Never, ever, ever attempt pebble quilting with white thread on light fabric! Most people would know better. Not me. It's done now, but it isn't done well. I could hardly see where I'd already quilted. My eyes are strained, my head aches and my shoulders are sore. And I thought it would be so easy!

The other lesson is black on black... ask me how I know! I think my eyes are still recovering.

It's hard, I know :) try improving the lighting, it does help a bit. I have one of those daylight lamps and I use it when doing fiddly little things like that and it does help.

What we REALLY need is thread that will change color after a washing. They have white cieling paint that goes on blue then dry's to white - so you can see what you've already painted. So ... how about getting thread to do it????
Wouldn't it be nice to have thread like that??? |

What a great idea! But there will be the naysayers saying it will be full of chemicals and ruin my quilt in a hundred years. LOL |
With white on white no one can see the mistakes, so why worry?

Some quilters use a black lite when quilting with a color that does not show up much.I have not tried it but they seem to like it.

I guess the up side of the lessons is your errors would blend in?
