Always fun to get up close and personal with your fabric choices!<br />Today is a perfect day for getting back to the "dark and depressing" fabric choices and projects.<br />Happy New year!FatQuarterQuiltFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456887074211400976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955703767486616116.post-78175964676869635702011-01-08T07:22:59.910-06:002011-01-08T07:22:59.910-06:00Wow great eye candy today

You're ri...Great quilts-what lucky recipients!<br /><br />You're right-no one uses invisible thread any more. I think that as machine quilting became more common-it became more "acceptable". Plus using non-cotton thread means that the thread is stronger than the fabric and if there's pressure then the fabric will tear and not the thread...not good. :)Mirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245963180065978054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955703767486616116.post-75977555008031720212011-01-03T17:08:41.071-06:002011-01-03T17:08:41.071-06:00I don't think I ever had the chance to see Ada...I don't think I ever had the chance to see Adam's quilt finished. It looks great!! :)<br />I still love the baby quilt for Fiona & Betsy. (Wanna make a bigger one? ;)) lol<br />The ones Jessi took -- I'd forgotten about them ... always loved the dolphin one just because it's so different. Not your normal thing but it came out looking fantastic and is totally her. Nice seeing all of these!Amy Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389281590202966467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955703767486616116.post-61273555639468037252011-01-03T08:39:10.640-06:002011-01-03T08:39:10.640-06:00I enjoyed seeing your quilts and you have given me...I enjoyed seeing your quilts and you have given me an idea on how to finish (piece) the backing on a quilt I am working on right now.

What's great is that the recipients really treasure them.<br /><br />I often use monofilament thread (both clear and smoke) and have used it in the top and in the bobbin. Often it's my choice for multicolored tops when I can't decide on one color for it, don't have the color I need handy when I am ready to quilt or don't want to have to change the colors for each area of the top. It's also great for really invisible machine-attached binding. <br /><br />My understanding of the reason for not using it in baby quilts is that because the nylon thread doesn't give/break as easily as regular cotton thread, if a loop comes loose, a young finger or toe could get caught on it and the flesh would give before the thread would! Not a happy thought.Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955703767486616116.post-4163112578899884772011-01-02T21:38:00.940-06:002011-01-02T21:38:00.940-06:00I made the Dolphin Quilt a few years ago for my hu...I made the Dolphin Quilt a few years ago for my husband, mainly because he likes them.

I've not had any issues with it. I don't use it in the bobbin though. And, I've heard you shouldn't use it for baby quilts, although I'm not sure why it would be different from regular thread except that it is harder to see.<br /><br />I'm a straight-line quilter too. I've tried free motion, but I think to be as good at it as I would want to be I'd have to practice. A lot. That's probably not going to happen!Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373133483861905896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955703767486616116.post-30776979509549344852011-01-01T20:05:30.217-06:002011-01-01T20:05:30.217-06:00It's great to give quilts when the recipients ...It's great to give quilts when the recipients appreciate them.
