By using the recommended size 12 needle, I got nice even stitches on the front and back, no tension problems at all. I chose to use this thread because the manufacturer says that it is “Perfect for (machine) quilting that creates texture when you don’t necessarily want to see the quilting lines”, but I suppose that is if you choose the same color thread as the fabric. I didn’t want to quilt with white thread over my red star. The red quilting really isn’t very visible over the red fabric, but stands out too much over the white background fabric.NancyinSTLhttp://www.thequiltshow.com/os/myblog.php/member_no/1003137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-40177483418547664842011-08-24T09:09:10.009+01:002011-08-24T09:09:10.009+01:00Ok never mind Aurifil how do get that flapping qui...Ok never mind Aurifil how do get that flapping quilt on your blog!??<br /><br />I bought some Aurifil to try but it looks so pretty I haven't opened the packaging yet!Sigh!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437815900953193788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513356584940430771.post-66055959112291923662011-08-23T15:30:03.185+01:002011-08-23T15:30:03.185+01:00I love hand piecing with Aurifil.
