Great question Mbunny. Glad you asked it. Now my mind is whirling with possibilities.

It's so funny you asked that. I just did a little playing around with some of my "fancy stitches". I also LOVE multi-colored thread, though it is pricey. But when you use it on contrasting colors, and use the decorative stitch, I think it looks cool.

I think this is very attractive, these kind of stitches would be great worked into a childs quilt somehow, so nice and colourful!

I used a regular foot-didn't have a walking foot at the time. I made the quilt sandwich and quilted threw all 3 layers. The batting was low loft, but I don't remember the brand. Before I did this, I made a small quilt sandwich with the top a small crazy quilt square. I played with that & then went to the real quilt! The backing was a multi colored print so the back stitches didn't show. The whole quilt was from scraps. I'll see if I can find a picture to post. |

Love your sample. What kind of thread is that? Thanks in advance! |
I have a christmas crazy quilt that I planning on quilting with my decorative stitches. It's on the top of quilts to finish!

I have sewn down binding using a fancy stitch.

Oh, that's adorable! Nice job!!
I wouldn't consider blanket stitch a fancy stitch, but did use it to quilt and outline the package/bow at the same time. Used bright colored variegated thread and walking foot. The Happy Birthday card is not quilted down, only tacked in place so it has a little dimension to it. |
I have used them on many quilts. The key is to not use those that are too dense.
