Got a wee problem-ette, thought somone might be able to help, please?
The theory was that I should hand quilt DS a black-and-red design. It is scarlet red on one side, black on the other Cotton/silk batting/cotton sandwich The design is a geometric arabic-style mandala Want to quilt some in red ans some in black making the design reversable, but the red showing on the black and vice-versa.
Bought YLI Hand-quilting thread (which I normally love) and began.
Problem: The thread disappears. Completely, utterly, all gone disappears
Thought I could solve this with embroidery thread, but it won't go through any needle that will go through sandwich. Thought about machine quilting, but that is still not going to show sufficiently. Can I get coloured sashiko thread, perhaps? That would certainly do the trick, but there may be better solutions.
Any thoughts or ideas or, better still,experiences anyone?
Itching to get started, and now in a paroxism of indecision.
