Before you dive into quilting that masterpiece you've labored over for months, take a tip from award- winning quilt artist David Taylor (Episode 406).
Make a few small quilt sandwiches using the same top and backing fabrics and the same batting as you've used in your quilt.
Experiment with these samples to determine the appropriate tension and to audition thread and quilt patterns before you begin stitching on the actual quilt.
By duplicating the materials, you've insured that the stitching conditions will be the same.
