I am machine quilting my bargello table runner by following the diamond pattern and going diagonally across the blocks. I have done a couple "rows" and it looks good, but because some of the stitching begins and ends in the middle of the quilt, I have thread tails that need to be dealt with. I need help here and would appreciate anyones input on how to tie off and hide these thread tails. I am sure there are different methods and with all the wonderful quilters on this board, somebody has the answer.

I would just knot them and bury them.

The make a knot and bury the thread can be a tedious process, but I think it looks and survives better than just clipping the thread close to the fabric.

You can do this with a needle that has an "open" eye...you can pull thread into the needle through an opening at the top.

There was an ad on the banner of this board about a month ago that I actually clicked on (and I NEVER to that).
Anyway, they had a side threading spiral needle. Very pricey, so I wasn't running to order it that day. I probably will because it's something new AND looked interesting. :roll: Big sizes, though. But I really liked the way it threads. http://www.spiraleyeneedles.com/ |
