Adrianne's Quilt - Quilting & Binding

4/26/2014

I know it's been TWO WHOLE WEEKS since my last post and I promise I'll share more of what I've been up to but before that, I want to show you Adrianne's quilt.  Adrianne has been so patient while I worked on her quilt and it really came out adorable.

I only had two thread breakages on this quilt which is great!  I am becoming more and more certain that all the thread breakages I was having on previous quilts was a combination of poor thread quality, too thin of a thread and just the varying thicknesses and types of fabrics sewing through.  Now I am using Aurifil thread for my quilting and it's 50wt instead of 40wt and that seems to be helping a lot.  I do still get an occasional dropped or skipped stitch but it seems to be tied to sewing through vinyl lettering on shirts and other odd lettering.

I do still quilt "around" instead of "through" the really bulky items like those little booties or the cow hat.
