When doing machine quilting, A firm, somewhat
stiff backing fabric helps to prevent those annoying puckers, so if the
backing you have chosen is soft, starch it first. - Kate in Wisconsin
When machine quilting or stitching applique, fill paired bobbins
with your
thread. Use one of the pair on top, and you can easily see if bobbin is
running too low to finish a line of stitching without stopping to reload and
start again in the middle. - Barbara in Arizona
My husband bought a large
package of gripper gloves at a surplus/discount store
for a very cheap price and I use them to keep control
of the material while I'm machine quilting. They
are much less costly than at the quilting stores. -
