I do not always use a "special" thread like the one in the picture for my bobbin, though. My student began the quilting using this thread in the bobbin so I just continued with the same thread. This is Gutermann variegated 100% cotton. I also like YLI for machine quilting. YLI is a little heavier weight and I think it looks lovely on the quilt top. But if I am using YLI, I would probably choose another lighter weight cotton that matches for my bobbin thread. Hope that makes sense...only a couple of sips of coffee this morning :) I do like to increase the stitch length - it makes for a pretty stitch and I think the loft of the quilt sort of sucks in the stitches. So if you use a small stitch they almost seem to disappear.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101540158088271850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111782212707964150.post-49370282070721919222010-10-11T04:42:24.584-04:002010-10-11T04:42:24.584-04:00Really good advice, thank you Mary, I have never s...Really good advice, thank you Mary, I have never seen those clips before either, will try to get hold of them :)Me and Mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13198729800060650482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111782212707964150.post-4575068043473778882010-10-11T01:54:15.100-04:002010-10-11T01:54:15.100-04:00Just the right post for me too.

I can see that it's cotton but is it a heavier weight or just the multi-purpose stuff?

Glad the post is helpful...I am never sure if I am just "singing to the choir". My walking foot is more appropriately called a dual feed foot - it is built in to my machine. Most often I will see a walking foot that looks like a foot with a boxlike thing attached to the back of the foot. It still has the little feet in the middle that walk the top layer of fabric. Glad this helps :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101540158088271850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111782212707964150.post-13361729010084330872010-10-10T16:45:07.270-04:002010-10-10T16:45:07.270-04:00Thank you!
