I’m new to quilting and need to make a project using Qt where the wise thing Feather Fabric (the one the has black background and Teal) 1 yard- Was wondering what fabric you would put with it. Would love to make a modern quilt and make it like the feathers are falling. Just got a Maker. Any help if you have ever seen a quilt that could look like that and also what fabric choices you would make or any pattern you would you. Much appreciated

Great questions Stephanie! When you are straight line quilting I recommend starting in the middle of the quilt but on the edge. So halfway between the bottom and the top and then quilt towards the edges. So unlike FMQ you will start on the edge but like FMQ you are working towards the bottom and top edges to give the excess fabric somewhere to go. Does that make sense? No need to back stitch for straight line quilting. For FMQ when you start you want to pull the thread from the back up and through and then knot the top and bottom together to make sure it stays in place. <3 Alicia

Also, when you start the quilting, do you need to backstitch, or will the binding cover it and keep the thread from coming loose?
