snyderj9k Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a customer quilt made from denim patches. What needle would you recommend I use for this? Are there needles just for denim? Any other pointers for this project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I would use a 4.0 or 4.5 needle on denim. I have done a few denim quilts...and try to avoid the thick seams as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisae Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi, Jeanine, I have done many denim quilts for one particular customer. Keep your quilting simple. Denim DOES stretch, so make sure you stabilize well. And as Kristina said, avoid the seams if you can. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marycontrary Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I did a a t-shirt quilt for which the customer chose denim for the border and backing. And the backing was pieced together. I was really worried there would be problems. Used a 4.0 and the needle went through everything like butter. Hope you don't have any problems either, but be cautous cause you never know.
