I'm surprised about Aurifil - I have the best luck with it! Gutermann might work? It's way less fuzzy than Mettler.<br /><br />GREAT finish, by the way. A great choice for a Bee block!felicityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18175463051620709590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-45786748721074621382011-12-22T13:41:55.121-08:002011-12-22T13:41:55.121-08:00Great Quilt....love that scrappy combo!

Recently I have been experimenting on my bernina with machining the binding with my quilting foot, and I have been having issues with skipped stitches on both the straight stitch and the zig zag....so my solution is to use a larger needle like a 14, and to use a regular flat foot rather than the quilting foot...this seems to work better...also I use king tut quilting thread and regular weight Gutterman cotton for the bobbin...good luck!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549656236916702096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-58328719731336320772011-12-22T11:11:21.826-08:002011-12-22T11:11:21.826-08:00i love that block. it looks so pretty with all of...i love that block. it looks so pretty with all of those scraps. the family it goes to will love it so much!**nicke...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12075185396690393980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-73633973581756746782011-12-22T09:51:41.960-08:002011-12-22T09:51:41.960-08:00love it!

I read somewhere that is an average amount for most quilts. So if I do scrappy and want to patch the back together, I will look for most of my one yard pieces or sew a bunch of small scraps together randomly and make that the back.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987985815743645069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-29889355932293583232011-12-21T15:28:09.968-08:002011-12-21T15:28:09.968-08:00Oh wow, that looks fab, well done to all contribut...Oh wow, that looks fab, well done to all contributors!Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-67233343851096532682011-12-21T13:50:46.895-08:002011-12-21T13:50:46.895-08:00It's beautiful!

It's amazing how it all flows even though the fabrics are so different.<br />I don't have a bernina myself, but some of my students have remarked on how fussy it seems to be with thread. My teacher only uses YLI Silk to piece in her bernina, and yli silk in the bobbin with King Tut 40wt in the top for quilting. I must admit those two are my favourites in my Brother as well. The king tut is so thin and elegant for a 40wt, and very very strong. Hope that helps? :) <br />Happy Christmas!SewHappyGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16697748398763227664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988186093337980590.post-38020791756608495822011-12-21T12:43:54.387-08:002011-12-21T12:43:54.387-08:00Beautiful quilt, Becky!
