Quilting the pieces and one trick

The quilting is going ok despite every needle size and type I try pulling the silk lining occasionally.  Never mind because it's easy to gently stretch it back into position with no evidence. 

Instead of pulling the lining and outer fabric apart to tie-off and bury the tails, here's a better tip.  If your machine has a "knot on/knot off" function, engage it at the beginning and end of each line.  Then pull the lining's tail through to the outer side and snip them both off at the height of your fabric pile's height.  Like so ...

So beautifully neat, but it only works on fabric with some degree of pile.
