Question about quilt stitches
#31
Thanks for all the inspiration here! I just read a thread about stitching from the back. Very good idea on some quilts. I'll have to try that next time. Yep, I'm learning quite a bit already and have only been on the board a day.
I love the idea of no quilting police. That drives me nuts. Just plain old good common sense works. Thatnks ya'll!

Welcome from Cajun Country Louisiana! I'm a new quilter too.....I also hand quilt, not brave enought yet to FMQ.....I was always told by my grandmother (bless her soul) that your thread had to blend....so that is what I do.....

Is it a rule of thumb that your quilting thread shouldnt show? After looking at some of the quilts on here, im ready to ripe all my quilting out and start over. Im not that far alng yet so its no biggie, but im just curious if the thread should not show on the top of your quilt. I swear, I feel like a beginner all over again. :?
