Quilting Thread

[teddysmom]

I had piece and hand quilt so I can't help you on this one.

I'm a King Tut nut! but...I also use other kinds of Superior and just ordered a BUNCH of it...so I guess I'd better get busy on the 16 UFO's running loose around here...

I use only King Tut, reason being I tried others and my Sweet 16 was very unhappy. It isn't worth the difference in price to waste hours adjusting the tension back and forth and picking out ugly stitches. I'll keep my King Tut. You can get it cheaper, just google it.

I have a Janome 11000SE & I use signature thread for piecing & machine quilting. I love it. Never have had a problem with it. But it does get linty & have to use the brush to clean out bobbin compartment. I read on this board that compressed air is not good to use with computerized machines.

I have used Tut and Signature. I do prefer Tut over Signature . Do be aware the Signature makes two different weights a 40 wt and a 20 wt. I find the needle size I need for the 20 wt is larger ( so the thread does not break or shred) than anything I want to use on batik fabrics. It leaves a rather larger hole that does not go away . This is of particular concern if you ever have to remove stitches. So My order of preference is Tut is number 1 by a mile , Signature 40 wt is second , and Signature 20 wt is really my very last choice.

After reading so many different threads on thread I am SO thankful that none of my machines are fussy as to which one I use. The only exception has been using the monofilament type.

I know many award winning machine quilters that use Signature, Maxi Loc and C&C threads. If a brand of thread works great for your machine then why ask opinions? Just use it.

Thank all of you for your opinions.

I would much rather have King Tut. The signature thread I bought was wound crooked and kept breaking. I threw it out.
