I really like the way the corners turned out, I think it very nice. I also like the appearance of the underside of the finished quilt.
To finish this way I use a very large needle and of course the lovely alpaca yarn. I want to share with you how I finish a line of thread and start again and hide having done so!
This is more or less a darning needle. |
When down to 3-4" of thread I pierce back into the last stitch to end. |
After pulling through do not pull tight but insert the needle back through the loop then pull taught. Repeat this again. |
Next I bury the thread by inserting the needle and running it back 1-2" then back out through the top. |
Here you can see the needle going in then the tip coming out an inch back. |
Now I clip the thread. |
After threading the needle tie a knot in the end and trim. |
Open a stitch about 1/2" to 1"in front of the ending knot. |
Insert the needle and push it back between the layers of fabric and up at the ending knot. |
Pull the thread gently through. |
When the knot gets to the stitch you have coaxed open work it down between the layers and pull taut. |
Now you are ready to start again. |
FINISHED AND READY TO START NUMBER 3. |
