There are so many mistakes that could have been worse. I know because I have made them. I agree with giving it to another charity, maybe this was meant to be?

Hi,
I'm right there with you - doing things that I shouldn't be doing.

How extensively is your top quilted? If the quilting is minor (in terms of the time it took to do the quilting), have you thought about re-quilting it with the correct thread? You could either sew over the original quilting lines, or you could do a grid quilting....either with diagonal lines or horizontal and vertical lines.

My hope is that you would be able to salvage the quilt and give it to the intended group. I hate the idea of all that money for fabrics and all of your time, and now it is essentially wasted, because it cannot go the the correct place.

Casa Manana

Whoopes! I have to go back and zig zag the binding as I stitched it down by hand. I missed reading that piece...

I'll bet you have a nearby Head Start or Early Start Program that would just love to have it. I made 27 quilts for our program here, so I know they are welcome.

I have used it on some of my quilts and liked it. I was thinking about using it too til I read the instructions a second time. If you hadn't posted I would have done it too.

Now I'm paranoid about some baby quilts I've made and quilted with monofiliment thread. I'll be worried to death a finger will be cut!I'm very careful about clipping threads but what if I missed one? Monofiliment is about all I quilt with simply because my bad quilting skills are less visable.

Yes, I'm rethinking my quilting thread choices now...thanks for posting.

I have always been confused about quilting threads. I want a soft "unthready" look but I don't know what to use. Is rayon embroidery thread ok or would it not hold up with use? I haven't seen any Sulky or comparable brand of quilting threads at Joann's.

I do things like that too. And I didn't know that about monofilament thread so your "mistake" was a lesson to me. I did a lap robe with the stuff but it's for us so guess it doesn't really matter; I'll do my big cussing when I wash and dry it and maybe have to redo some of it.

I just noticed you're from Fargo - I live near Gwinner!
