I am fixing up that polyester spiderweb quilt, but I don't know if I should use a narrow zig zag or a straight stitch. It is straight stitched right now. I plan on tieing it when I get it all repaired.

Does your machine have a straight, stretch stitch? If not, I would be tempted to use a very narrow zig zag, it will have more give to it. Set the zig zag so narrow that it almost appears to be straight :wink: :D:D:D

It does have a straight stretch. I didn't even think about that! Thanks.
