As long as you don't mind how the back of the quilt looks, you can use them for quilting and get some fun results...can even quilt with some of your decorative stitches...it is even possible to do free motion work...but be careful not to pull on the quilt as you can break needles if you do...and the twin needles aren't cheap. Try playing with one and see what you think!

Twin needles are great for sewing on narrow bias binding, like the kind used for celtic or stained glass window designs. I recently used them for a spider web quilt I made my nephew.
