But, I do like the white thread more. Closer stitching would help with the loose threads….turning under as you stitch slowly would help. Have you tried MistyFuse? That seems to really help though sometimes I still wind up with some errant threads. <br /><br />Great work! I really love the design.Judy Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644738305279130498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766898786903657398.post-43343173226594219072014-03-21T11:42:40.733+00:002014-03-21T11:42:40.733+00:00Really cool!

You might consider some experiments on practice scraps to find the edge treatment you like best: satin stitch, couching, or perhaps Fray Check applied generously to both front & back before cutting, then finished with white buttonhole stitch as you have in #2.

I think raw edge definitely has a place, especially in pieces like this. If I was making it, I might probably bind the edges and stitch it down afterwards, however this might be too dimensional or bulky and would change the look and feel... Personally,I don't think it's too messy, I think the exposed threads add something.

And the pebbles background quilting is perfect. No clue for technique, but I'd keep the fracture line with exposed threads and finish only the other three edges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766898786903657398.post-44976211018020943552014-03-19T16:25:41.360+00:002014-03-19T16:25:41.360+00:00That is an awesome project, so unusual!!

I also feel that the edges of Fracture 1, are fine. They provide the kind of texture that you can only get, with fibre. They are both beautiful pieces and again, you've taught me something new.
