JeanK, I'll bet that thread was nylon. I've bought nylon "invisable" a couple of times and hated it. It's wiry. And it melts. I've used all kinds of poly. Good ones are at least as soft as cotton and...

Garysgal's link is sad. There are some magazines I don't miss, but I will miss The Quilter and a few of the others mentioned. With the shpe they're in, I doubt there'll even be an electronic option.

We've got an Innova, and on that and the HQ we had before, we use all kinds of mixes. Like Prism, our shredding has been solved by using a bigger needle. And with more tightly woven fabric, having a...

So nice! I particularly love your appliqué--the colors, the mitered borders, the shapes... And am simply gobsmacked by the handsome greige, black and white.

Yes! I use it most of the time. I've got an HQ16 with an M-size bobbin, so it really does go for quite a while.

Irene, can you explain "press under the binding"? How wide do you cut the binding strips? When I do 2.5" I can fold it to the other side, but there's not enough to press any under. And do you have...

I almost always use John Flynn's diagonally pieced backing. It usually saves a bit of fabric, it's only one seam, and won't fold or roll with the seam on itself.

I'm surprised that the Sapphire doesn't have it. I've got a 2004 Viking and I'd have thought they'd have that on all of their machines, especially up the line a bit.

I *hated cutting until getting the Accuquilt GO. It's kind of fun now. And a godsend for cutting binding strips. I've never been tempted by a quilt kit. Guess I'm too much of a control freak!

For most quilts, I machine stitch to the front, fold and glue to the back, mitering the corners, then use a serpentine machine stitch with 100wt thread on the front. Very sturdy and pretty subtle.
