Help with blue jean quilt??
Ok I've made a ton of these, ok well maybe 6 of them. But this time I
want to do the one were the seams are on the outside and you cut them to fray. My question is I've noticed sometimes on my other ones the stitching has come out in a couple of places. Now that could be from me speed piecing and forgetting to back stitch when I started a new piece. But I was thinking this time maybe I should put two stitch lines. Not really happy with the double needle idea, although if you say so I will try it. Other than that maybe zigzag? Or do a straight stitch and then zigzag? Or maybe just make my stitches smaller???

The instructions I have said to use a stretch stitch. The stretch stitch on
my machine is a two forward, one back straight stitch. No problems with it coming undone, unless, of course, I snip too far in the seam and cut the thread! -- Siptah Columbus, OH "Joanna" wrote in message news:ZUw_c.68156$jZ5.37948@clgrps13...
