Hi new to the board, I have been embroidering for a long time. I have always used Marathon thread along with Sulky and others. Finally my question is does anyone use Marathon thread on heirloom quilts?
thanks in advance

for machine embroidery i've used Sulky, YLI, Mederia, Geutermann, Weeks, Wildflower brands + poly threads, rayons, silks; verigated, any number of different threads, i base my thread decision on need...what is going to accomplish what i want to accomplish, shiny, bright, dull, blended...if it will work in my machine i will use it
