Default Quilting Thread
This might have been asked before but can you quilt on a DSM with 60 weight thread in the bobbin and on top?
Thank you for your help and advise

Yes, you can. People use 60wt Bottom Line for both. Cindy Needham (Craftsy class) does this all the time and she does beautiful quilting.

I quilt with 50 wt in both bobbin and top so I don't see why you can't do it with 60 wt.

No problem .... I have even quilted with 100 wt in both the top/bottom with no problems. Also have used 80 1t and a coarse 35 wt.
