    I do knots and bury them, too. I'm just never convinced lock stitches lock. I have no reason not to trust them. I've never had a bad experience with lock stitches because my paranoia won't let me use them.

    Sheesh, I forgot about the option to bury those knots/threads. :roll: :oops: Guess I had enough with them on the last quilt I entered for the fair last summer. Note to self: Remember to bury in the future! :lol:

    Thanks for the reminder, ladies. :thumbup:

    Either stitch would give the edges a nice finished look, and help keep them nice if it is laundered too.
    This topper is beautiful!! :D:D:D

    Thank you. I ended up using the Feather stitch around the outer edge and like the results a lot. :D
