Mostly it depends on what machine I am useing. But I do use a leader most of the time when piecing triangles or
points. It just works better no matter what machine...

Happy quilting

Always!!! It is a habit now after learning the had way and getting thread jammed in my first Featherweight.

I mostly hand piece so this threw me for a minute. No. when I piece on my machine, I don't use one either.

As far as I know a leader is just a piece of scrap fabric but I may be wrong. Please elaborate.

Here is information on Leaders and Enders from the expert - Bonnie Hunter. She has tons of free quilt patterns and other useful information on her website www.Quiltville.com.

Here is an explanation of Leaders and Enders, plus photos on how it is done (for you visual people).

She also has scrap user system that makes a lot of sense:

Always, even in garment construction.

Same here. Now what to do with all the tiny 4 patches that have half filled a small tote! ;)

(Actually, will eventually make a postage stamp quilt or have used them as corner stones. Waste not, want not.)
