Okay, thanks everyone. I'm going to go with the red, but as you all seem to be saying -- it probably doesn't matter a whole lot.
Happy sewing!

Wink Basic thread color question.

I'm having a bit of a brain freeze regarding thread color (it's been a while since I've bound a quilt). My wallhanging has bright red binding but very light blue (sky) color for the main part of the...

Thanks! Loved looking at the different versions of the quilt, and I think you're right about intense quilting in the background. I'm not sure if my pebbling is up to it (I'll practice a bit and see),...

Thanks, ManiacQuilter2. I'm using Warm&Natural, which apparently needs to be quilted every 10", giving me more options for "simple."

The only simple design I would trust myself with for the...

I like both of your ideas, guys. Think I might combine them -- echoing (1 line or 2?) inside the globes, SID the rows, and curvy lines in the planks. Wish me luck! Of course, I still have the hardest...

So I've finally finished this quilt top. I'd love some advice as to how to quilt it. I'm a novice, having done just a few smallish, simple quilting projects so far. I'd like to keep it simple--partly...

I think perhaps I won't risk the serger thread....good point about the strength. Maybe I'll trial the 40 wt in top and bobbin as well as just in the top with Aurifil (sp) in the bobbin. Thank again,...

Question Question about threads for quilting.

Hi everyone,

I have a bunch of cones of serger thread (Maxi-Lock, 100% poly). Do you think that would be okay to use in the bobbin for quilting (not piecing)?

I also have a stash of Sulky...

Wow! Thanks, everyone. Starch (I use Best Press) seems like a great idea. Would I use it before stitching around the perimeter, or just some time before actually making my diagonal cuts? Or does it...

I just wanted to post a pic of the finished piece. My FMQ leaves a LOT to be desired, but it's going on a wall so won't be examined too closely (I hope). :shock:

Thanks again for all the advice on...

Add me to the "no" camp. :thumbdown: I have the same issues when I try viewing on my iPad, but even on my Mac they're just not as user-friendly as they used to be, imho.

Fusible appliqué advice needed

That's a good idea! I've been wondering how to get organized with blocks. Do these boxes come in different sizes? Any recommendations for which to buy to have a few on hand?

The quilting tip says it takes 2-1/4 inch strips. Does it actually work with 2-1/2 inch strips? That'd be great, if there was a little flexibility in it.

Thank you, everone. Like most techniques in quilting, it seems there are as many "right" ways as there are quilters. I love to hear all your reasoning for why what you do works for you. :)

I always used to pre-wash my fabric, back when I was quilting a decade ago. Now that I've taken it up again, I've discovered all these wonderful layer cakes, jelly rolls, etc. Instructions always say...
