jgardog~ What thread are you using? Batting?

Bonnie~ I have personally have not heard about quilting with todays threads and methods being detremental to old quilts. Unless maybe they were referring to being pulled and stretch tight on a hoop or LA. I think that it is such a personal choice tho! I am often commisioned to do the hand quilting on old quilts (Often found in trucks and closets) and I do indeed charge a pretty penny for the work. And I have seen such beautifull machine quilting on others as well!! Again I think it is a personal choice. Whatever you decide please post pix when they are done (or even as they are now) would LOVE to see them!! Patty
