I usually only use about 2 'balls' of it on my quilts, but it really depends on how much stitching you do. So on this one, since I used three colors, I think I just bought one 'ball' of each. I like to have extra 'just in case' so many times I order two of each color, but on this throw size quilt (fits on just the top of a twin size bed, no draping over), 3 should be ok. <br />Hope this helps!

It is like embroidery thread, but instead of individual threads, they are twisted together.

I pin mine together. I did use a hoop for the quilting. I found that I can do multiple rows at a time (I have done up to 10!) using pearl cotton. I use valdini brand. I try to pick patterns that I can follow across to make the straight lines. if the patterns are not straight or easy to follow, you can use masking tape to create a straight edge to follow for your first row, then just use that line as a guide. I find that the imperfection of all the lines not being exact is much more fun. :). does that help?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092128091118437349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760763197372033929.post-6739195610355853832014-07-18T16:41:35.410-04:002014-07-18T16:41:35.410-04:00Noel, I did bind this quilt as well as use batting...Noel, I did bind this quilt as well as use batting. for the binding I used 2" strips sewn together at the short ends equalling the length around the quilt. then, I folded it in half lengthwise and pinned it around the quilt so that half was on the front & half was on the back. I then sewed it onto the quilt approximately 1/3" from the sides. after sewing all around once, I then went back and sewed another line just outside the previous row of stitches. I then trimmed the raw edge of the binding on each side so that it is about 1/4" from the outside row of stitches. after washing, I then went over it again and trimmed away the loose threads. I love this style of binding because it gives a worn soft look to the quilt.
