The twin needle looks good on top, but the back is zz. It works O. K. on wall hangings, but it will snag on bed quilts.

How neat! I have just pushed my twin needle out of the way whenever I've been in my sewing box. Love the looks. Guess I'd better give it a try.

Thanks for this suggestion. Love to take advantage of everybody else's experiences.

Now who would have thought the back would turn out like that?!?

I'm thinking that may be tough if doing corners need practice. Just my thought

The twin needles give it a more "tailored" look. I have the needles, I might have to give it a try. (It will go to the bottom of the to-do list, of course.):)
