they should, be this why you must always practice on a sample sandwich..every needle/thread combination will vary not only by machine but by the fabrics used, the batting used, and by the person doing the FMQ....
Thanks so much for this advice, am about to quilt my first project - a Canadian Comfort and remembrance project quilt on my new Bernina Aurora 450 with their BSR, with some trepidation I might add! I suppose I should make a few sandwiches and try out the pattern for the leaves as well as what I want to do with the sashing. The leaves are traditionally pieced all cotton, the sashing blackwatch flannel so perhaps I should different needles. Hmmm... so much to consider!
