HI,
I am new here, but not necessarily new to quilting. I am about to put my next quilt in the frame and am wondering if anyone has ever used blanket stitches to quilt all the way through a quilt, not just embelish a crazy quilt. And, If you think it might work, would you use floss or quilting thread.

thanks,
Kerrie
