Binding with Silk thread
#5

I would like to use it for the binding of the quilt I am currently working on. I've used cotton thread to piece it, but it's much too light a thread for the binding, while I do have the correct color in silk thread. But I've never used silk thread for a binding before. What size needle would I need in my sewing machine? Do I need to take smaller stitches than I do for piecing?

I do if I happen to have a silk thread in the right colour, it is so beautiful to hand sew with, I have also used Bottom line thread for my bindings and though it's not as nice to work with as the silk thread, it's not bad either.
