What Do You Do When the Thread Breaks While You Are Doing FMQ?
 

When I was doing FMQ on my last quilt using Invisafil thread, I had a couple instanced when the thread broke. When this happens do you just start again with a few small stitches over where it broke to hold the ends in place or do you stop, take a few stitches out, knot and bury the tails?

I've never really been told what to do or how to handle this. Thanks for your help.

Pick up the line a few stitches back. I usually go back an inch and bring up both threads and go.

It depends one what the quilt is going to be used for...and how busy the backing is! If I can Really see the start and stop, I make it as invisible as I can. I bury the threads -both the start and the stop. If its a busy quilt and the start and stop will not be seen, I do a couple of stitches to lock them in , trim it all the ends and keep going...

Mostly what everyone else says, depending on the use, backing, area where it breaks, etc.

Thanks everyone. That's pretty much what I thought and what I did. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some magic fix that I didn't know about.

First: I swear. Profoundly. Second: I do what everyone else has recommended above. Third: I pour a nice cold glass of white wine.

Repeat as needed.

I have been lately bringing up top and bottom threads tie a small knot, go back past there, do a couple of stitches back and forth and go on.
I use to just go back and forth and move on.

I just make regular quilts, nothing fancy. If it pleases me it will please anyone.

I do what Tartan does.

Patrice, what is Invisafil? Have you had that problem with other threads?
