I have a Pfaff, and it has no double-blanket stitch.

Is Bernina the only manufacturer with that stitch?

Debbie, thanks for asking about it. I went back and looked at it and just used it to applique my seaweeds down in my mermaid quilt. It is a wonderful raw-edge applique stitch...looks fabulous. I didn't find the stitch at first, because it just looked like a little bolder normal blanket stitch on the screen. BethMI, sorry you don't have it.

[Debbie L.]

Thank you ladies, I have gone to the show and watched again, I will be checking my new Brother 6000D,
I do not like the skimpy look the reg back stitch provides. I will let you know how it works out. I am truly excited to start this project for me. I do too much for others. 8) How many of you have used this stitch as well. What thread did you use. What threads work better than others. Debbie

[Debbie L.]

I just made some pillow cases with fancy stitches... I used double thread with a large needle ( from Quilting Arts DVD) and liked the look. I also found my twin needles.... I am going to do some machine quilting... straight lines with that...

I do not think you can free motion stitch with double needles but I just might give it a try to see what happens... as long as I do not break them by going to fast.

You can freemotion quilt with double needles ,but it kind of leaves a funky zizzag stitch on the backside. Try a sample piece to see if you like the design on the backside.

[Dixie H.]

I would probably thread paint with it then do quilting as part of the design... either that or put a different back on over the quilt .... that drives judges crazy.
