Started off very enthusiastically trying to quilt with
metallic thread but after 6 thread breakages in the span of 14 inches I gave
up. Some wars are simply best left alone,
so I did what I said I’ll do in the previous post and opted for a bright
yellow.
I tried to use my “non-hopping” ruler foot for all-over
quilting and this worked like a breeze and in future I might only use this
instead of switching feet when not doing ruler work (not as if I have used
rulers before).
So with the last sentence in mind I tried my hand a ruler
work and I guess for a first try I should have gone with a thread colour less
contrasting to the fabric as this combination showed up every little flaw.
Fortunately unpicking the contrasting thread was not that
hard and after all the trials and errors I opted to make it easier on myself
and chose a large scale all-over meandering covering the 3 borders.
Another one bites the dust!
