The quilting process is moving along well on my Unity quilt. This is the border most recently quilted. I found a way to stitch long, continuous lines of quilting with only a couple of stops/starts at the corners.
Now I am quilting the word 'patience' with lots of stops and starts, and I made a little video to show how I sew in the thread ends at the beginning and end of each line of stitching.
Minimizing the stops/starts is important because the process of hand stitching the thread ends takes quite a bit of time. I'd rather be doing other fun hand stitching, so I try to minimize the threads ends by finding long quilting paths. The last few borders will go faster (I hope) and I'll be able to finish this quilt by the end of the month.
I agree, the less thread ends I have to bury, the better.
ReplyDeleteLeast fave thing to do with quilts is bury threads. Your quilt looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilting job. Such a pretty quilt from what I can see on the pictures.
ReplyDeleteBurying the threads isn't the funnest part of the process, but the upside is that it's just about finished when you're at that stage. Looking great.
