Turned the quilt
Finally finished top to bottom! I was so excited to take the quilt off and see the back. It's always a little apprehensive for me because of my machine often doing very bad quality stitches. I did find a few little loops of thread that I believe are caused by back-spin. I am using the teflon disks in the bobbin and I put a drop of oil in it. That doesn't seem to help any. When it's done I'll need to sit down and go over the back inch-by-inch and tie a thread onto the loops, knot and bury them.

ReplyDeleteHi! Found your blog on "Quilting Bloggers". This is drop dead GORGEOUS!! Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteAnd why had I never thought to tie a thread to a little loop that needed to be buried??? Thanks for the idea. :)
Beautiful quilt!! Have you ever tried the prewound magna-glide? The Magnetic Core Bobbin.
ReplyDeleteI do not work for them, just a very satisfied customer. I am new to long arm quilting and as soon as I started using these bobbins all my problems went away. Beautiful stitches and NO tension problems. Give them a try, I think you will like them. I would be happy to send you a few to try.
