Binding thread and needle questions
I am hand sewing the binding on a quilt...one of my favorite parts of quilting. Today has been beyond frustrating. I don't have a specific needle size that I use and today started using one that was like putting a nail spike through the fabric. I changed to a better one, but maybe there is something better. I also have never had trouble with thread like I did today. I was using a dual purpose thread that knotted and felt bumpy even though it is new thread. So...What size needle do you use and what kind of thread??? I really, really appreciate your comments. Today it is cold in Ohio and I loved having the quilt on my lap as I sewed but I was frustrated!
