When you use twin needles to quilt with, do you get a zigzag pattern of thread on the back?

I couldn't cut up my own original fabric designed with Spoonflower site. So, I used 2 yards for major part of this quilt. I had 2-3 solids selected for borders, but decided quilt was busy enough and went with the one. Now, how to quilt. Not a lot of options for me, just straight line stitching, so, I FMQ following the irregular space between clusters. Then used painter's tape to mark a straight line between those. On the border, I broke out the twin needle and 2 different variegated threads. 3 rounds of serpentine stitching and finished with coordinating automated stitch for binding. I had to slow down my speed because I was asking a lot from my needles! Before I finished the binding, I could hear the plunk, plunk, plunking of dull twin needles, and I was hoping they would hold up til the end! Best of all, when I ordered new twin needles, I found metallic thread twins also!

What a clever idea. I have never tried using my twin needles. It carried a bit of fun and creativity from the stunning fabric to your sashing. Well done!

Pretty quilt with that gorgeous fabric. Love the details with the twin needles and variegated thread.
|
Love your quilt! You are right, that fabric is too gorgeous to cut up.
|
You did an amazing job on the quilt. I agree that no extra border was needed as print was busy enough.
|
Beautiful fabric, I wouldn't be able to cut it up either. I like your solution, and the verigated thread really adds to it. Great finish.
|
I've never used twin needles before and like the look on your quilt.
|
