What thread do most of you use when quilting. Do you match the thread to the pieced top or bottom. Or just go with a neutral like cream, grey...

I use neutral also. I always go with looks best on top.
|
My thread is 100% cotton. Most of it is from Connecting Threads and Threadart. When piecing I use a neutral thread that blends with most of the fabrics in the quilt. Cream, white, gray, blue-gray. It just depends on the fabric. When quilting I match to the fabric on top.
|
I love variegated threads..
|
I match the bobbin to the backing and the thread to the top.. :D but I'm crazy like that. Usually the two are similar so any pull thru isn't obvious.
|
if the quilt is various shades of the same color, i go with a color. otherwise, i choose a neutral
|
I tend to stick with black or white for piecing and match color of thread to quilt when quilting
|
Just depends on the project and if I want it to blend or stand out.

This is also what I do. I also use threads from Connecting Threads and ThreadArts. BUT, I'm searching to try something new. Any suggestions ladies? |
I'm a sucker for variegated also! I use that and cream mostly.
