Quilting question...
#1
When you quilt, how do you move from place to place (assuming you are not FMQ, but SID). I am rephrasing my earlier question! Do you have to cut the top and bottom thread at the end of each line before moving to the new starting place? I feel like I'm wasting a lot of thread!

When you have to stop when a quilting line has ended, you need to secure the stitching by backspacing a couple tiny stitches. You then cut your thread before moving to the next stitching area. It helps to cut both top & bottom threads (at the fabric) as you go as it saves looking for tails to cut later on. When starting again, secure the stitching with a backspace or two before continuing on. I cut those tails after I have gone a couple inches. It's like cleaning up as you go.

I don't stop and cut after SID each section. I do a locking stitch, stitch, locking stitch and then move to the next area. I do all of the cutting when I am finished :D:D:D
(unless there is going to be a gap bigger than 5 or 6 inches :wink: )
