viaragated thread
#3
If using machine thread I prefer to use beeswax instead of Thread Haven, but that is just my personal preference.
IMHO, I would think using varigated thread for hand quilting would look like she is using different thread colors instead of getting a blending of colors. She might want to try it on a practice piece to see if she likes the look.

Yes there is varigated hand quilting thread. You can even buy it at Wal Mart or quilt shops. I think it breaks a little easier than regular quilting thread but just use shorter lengths of thread. I like the look, in colorful quilts, it blends in plain colors it add a little spark and is beautiful on the back.
Attached pic of one,but maybe you can't tell the colors in the quilting thread. Ruth

Molly, I can`t hand quilt straight eitherso here`s what I do.
I draw a line with ruler and disappering ink then attach 1/4 inch masking tape and a couple of pins and follow along. Works graet.
