I didn't know what a double needle would do or how to use it, but that is neat. I like the effect.

Double needles come in different sizes. I have 3 sizes. I wonder which is recommended for quilting? Anyone know?

I've only used twin needles with garment projects (and not so much sucess). But I like the look of that, maybe I'll have to try it.

I am going to try it on my next one.

So here is something I totally forgot I had. It is a circle stitcher. I have Vikings, don't know if they are available for any others. But how cool is this?!?!

Love it. Wonder if they make one for my machine.............

I like the look of this also. When I first saw her block I said to myself would make a good quilt for a man. But as I red the post here maybe a table runner would be better. I also have not tried the one with my machine.

Haven't used a twin needle since making clothes for my girls...they are in their 40's now. That looks really good on the block shown. Might give it a try!
