If you knot your thread at the needle with the silk thread you won't lose you needle. Just something I picked up from Jane Townswick in one of her classes.

I always go to outline the applique first but then any markings do get partly rubbed off in the process - will keep that in mind! I'm looking forward to trying this thread - have loved the 50wt Aurifil cotton but this sounds like even better. Interesting what you say about silk thread - exactly what I found. I also find silk doesn't grab the fabric as reliably so parts of applique are loose..but maybe that's just my stitching lol. Those little stars are a delight and the Dutch fabrics so beautiful.

You are making great progress on it too, a hoop a day is a good plan. I love the beautiful Dutch fabrics in your Dutch Medallion. Thank you so much for your take on the Aurifil 80 wt. thread. I have been eyeing it but hesitated to order it. I love my silk thread, but it is such a bother to re-thread it when I lose it out of the eye. Do you have a favorite place to order your threads?Rebecca in AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06150717319142161546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4135277743789532589.post-79112095894809042532017-02-23T17:58:31.521-07:002017-02-23T17:58:31.521-07:00You are doing some very pretty quilting on Noah an...You are doing some very pretty quilting on Noah and Matilda.

That only happens when I'm speeding along a linear border and don't need to turn the hoop constantly or deal with seams. Your Dutch fabric stars are simply glorious, and it's good to hear your review of the Aurifil 80 thread. I love all things Quiltmania, and that quilt pattern is no exception. Looking forward to seeing your finished quilt.
