Louise's Favorite Needle -
Quilting 75/11
Louise uses the SCHMETZ Quilting 75/11 exclusively for all her garment sewing along with 100% cotton thread in either 50 or 60 wt. She finds the combination of the 75/11 Quilting needle and the 100% cotton thread to have a wonderful stitch quality. The seam does not pucker and lies flat when it is first sewn and after washings.
The SCHMETZ Quilting needle has a special taper to the slightly rounded point allowing easier fabric penetration and elimination of skipped stitches. This needle is made especially for piecing and machine quilting.
Louise is a contributing editor of Thread's Magazine and frequently lectures at the American Sewing Guild National Conference, The Sewing & Stitchery Expo, Original Sewing & Quilt Expos and Martha Pullen's Market Place. Louise's TV appearances include HGTV, DIY and PBS. Thirty-five years ago Louise founded Cutting Corners, Inc., a successful Couture Custom Clothing Buisness designing bridal gowns, tailored suits and "high end" sportswear. She established "Fashion Collections" as a haven for sewing enthusiasts filled with New York and European designer fabrics and buttons.
