This post was kind of like hand quilting 101. <br /><br />The only thing I can comment on is re: machine piecing batting together. I do it all the time, either with a very wide zigzag or a wide version of a meandering stitch (one of my seldom-used fancy stitches). I've never noticed a problem with fuzz or a buildup of fibers, but I'm a frequent sewing machine cleaner. I don't let that stuff pile up down in the guts of my machine.<br /><br />Again -- many thanks for all this info. I'm hoping to try it soon, after some deadlines are met.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255216150275846123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-20423213341935528812011-04-02T21:50:18.075-04:002011-04-02T21:50:18.075-04:00Thanks, Maureen, for the book recommendation..... ...Thanks, Maureen, for the book recommendation..... years ago I had a little book on the same subject, but they didn't give a whole lot of info on all the signers, just what became of them after signing. I'd love to know more! This one sounds good!<br /><br />Your quilts are gorgeous! Love all of your beautiful hand quilting.....I need to get back to that! Hmmmmmm.<br /><br />And now a ? about the threads.....when I hand quilted, I always used the waxed kind....but you said the unwaxed was working fine. So.....why do we think we need the waxed? And what does the waxed actually do that the regular can't? I'm just wondering, because the color choices are so limited with the waxed, and I could go wild with the regular thread colors! What do you think? And I wonder what quilters 'way back when' used.....did they 'wax' thread themselves, or just use regular? I wonder?reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822110311373036914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116074259919602763.post-59221270617488034212011-04-02T21:04:46.103-04:002011-04-02T21:04:46.103-04:00Quilting is really an entire subject on it's o...Quilting is really an entire subject on it's own isn't it? I have been learning a bit of machine quilting lately and started thinking a lot about how to quilt my little projects. It's an area that needs lots of practice but I don't have the time to devote to it at the moment. i like the US magazines because they often show different quilting patterns on their quilt patterns. And of course, lots to be found on various blogs. Lovely work as always Maureen.Elytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857438599489754345noreply@blogger.com
