Quilting a chanel style jacket
starryfish   Intermediate UNITED KINGDOM Member since 8/10/09 Posts: 190	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/28/12 9:31 AM I have Vogue 7975 cut out and ready to make up. I have been havering/wibbling/dithering about quilting the lining for ages. I've just decided I don't like the very ordinary lining I've bought and am going to find a nicer one. I bought a walking foot and tried it out on scraps, and to my surprise found it easy. However, I could see the lines on the right side even though its a boucle. It doesn't have a check pattern though. I used gutermann sewall polyester thread as that's what I always use. Is there a better type of thread for this purpose or should I experiment with different colours ? I want to quilt if at all possible as I want the cardigan feel. ------ Goals for 2013 Perfect my TNT Trousers Read my blog http://starryfishathome.wordpress.com

So far the samples look vey good. ------ Sharon Sydney, Australia http://petiteandsewing.blogspot.com/

It would have a duller finish and be less noticeable. Another option is to use a fine embroidery thread, like a size 60. It is thinner and that may help as well. You can find 100% cotton fine sixty weight thread. Its often carried at the sewing machine dealers. ------ http://lasewist.blogspot.com/
