Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

I use lots of different things including 10 wt. crochet thread, $5 from Walmart for a HUGE ball, with which I've just finished quilting a candlewicked quilt for a customer.

Your stitches look nice and even, which is the goal to strive for. It'll be so pretty!!

Hi can you show a pic of your candlewicked quilt pretty please ?!

I love the large stitch look but sure it must be done on specific type quilts ?

It sure complements your pattern beautifully. Nice job.

For some reason, when I use that big stitch my friends call it a Utility stitch. Works great on bigger blocks. Yours is wonderful.

I am having a hard tiime finding Candlewicking yarn. I had a big stash, that was passed down, in several colors. I havn't been using it much, since it is hard to find.
