AnnHenry Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am stippling a heavily appliqued quilt using Bottom Line thread on both top and bobbin. Do I need to tie and bury knots, or is back and forth ending acceptable? Batting is Quilters Dream Select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Bottom Line is pretty slippery and its your choice how you want to end the starts and stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnHenry Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I forgot to add that it's a show quilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Then bury the knots. The judges will have a hay day if they find your starts and stops.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.A Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Bonnie is absolutely right on both counts. I'd knot and bury because the fine poly thread is most secure that way and especially on a show quilt as the judges look carefully & will mark the quilt down if they can see the starts and stops Nancy in Tucson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
