In a way it is nice to have quilted the others first, you got to audition what you would do with yours. LoL! Right? You do such a beautiful job of the quilting. Do you do it professionally? I love the sparkle the golden thread adds.
Thanks for your compliments, I do work for those that belong to my quilting group, I don't know if you could call that professionally, I've been quilting for others for over six years now so maybe, but mostly for the love of quilting. I used my friends long arm for a shot time but I really like moving and drawing with my needle and having control of the quilt~ I'M IN CONTROL~ :lol:
Elle the type of thread I use is Sulky Metallics Holoshimmer 145-007 and I use a large eyed needle 90/40 by Schmetz called Metallic needle. I DO NOT like the sliver it's really hard to use and tangles a lot. I some time have to lay different spools on their sides, depending on how they are on the spools. Zig-Zag wound have to be on their side ~ I've learned the hard way.
