For domestic quilting you can't beat a topstitch needle. I like the titanium-coated ones from Superior, but whatever brand, use a topstitch. And try a batting with a scrim for no bearding. I like Victoria Textile's "Matilda's Own" 100% cotton on a scrim. It's an Australian product and it's great. Make sure the scrim is to the back, then when the needle punches into the quilt the scrim stops any being pushed out the back. Hope that helps.Dione Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491108842081708676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-19710441287800875012018-08-21T04:16:33.528+10:002018-08-21T04:16:33.528+10:00Looks awesome!

And the fact that it took so long to complete is part of the story to be passed down. So much to learn, though... I never knew there were so many specialized needles! (Curious - do you have a long arm machine? Quilting something this large would drive me up the wall.)Rochelle @ eSheep Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873971744083672144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-80089928383930935642018-08-08T23:44:29.155+10:002018-08-08T23:44:29.155+10:00It came out so gorgeous Pam!

When bits of batting poke through that is called bearding and is more apparent using white or off white batting with dark fabric such as your black. You could use black batting, but then it might have bearded through through the front on the the lighter colors showing the black batting. Some batting brands and types do it more than others, so experimenting with batting is also another thing to try. Everyone has their favorite brands and types of batting. I have tried so many and I prefer Hobbs 80/20 (80% cotton 20% polyester). It tends to make the quilt lie flatter. It doesn't feel as nice to the touch, but once it is sandwiched into the quilt it behaves nicer than 100% cotton, which feels nicer to touch. Tends to shrink less too if you wash the quilt.Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-87124009977340482232018-08-08T20:19:01.957+10:002018-08-08T20:19:01.957+10:00Hello, Pam,
