Modern Sewl. Wendy Hill's Blog. Above is a detail photo that shows the quilting lines (in purple) and the water-soluble thread lines (white). I quilted each of the four sections with Sulky 30 wt. solid color thread (purple-top; blue-bobbin). Also, here are detail shots of 2 of the many patches on this quilt. Most of the wear & tear occurred along the outside edges, but some patches were needed in the middle too. I put the sections in the wash, two at at time. I needed to melt the water-soluble thread, but I also wanted to get out the “grubbiness” of a lap/couch quilt used for 12-13 years. I started with a dish soap soak for 20-30 minutes, followed by a laundry detergent long wash with plenty of agitation. After the washer came to a stop, I started all over again with a cup of vinegar and a long wash with agitation.
It did shrink. So, the four sections must be reunited. I had to hand blindstitch the sashing in place, because it was too thick to stitch by machine, at least, by my little Bernina 155. Poppyprint.
