Stitching up to 8” apart allows quilters wonderful freedom of design. Needles (by machine and hand) glide smoothly through the fine, consistent, even webbing. The finished quilt may be machine washed and dried. Shrinkage is minimal. Drapes beautifully giving a traditional look and feel to your quilt. Lake yesteryear’s treasured quilts of cotton, your quilts of today deserve the very best.
