Do you machine thread or thread for hand stitching when sewing the
binding to the back of your quilt.

I use silk or sometimes aurifil-- which ever I have the right color of

I usually use Coats & Clark of the closest color I have to the binding and backing. If I take my time the stitches don't show anyway.

Mettler sewing thread. I don't like Coats and Clark because it strips off the poly core and makes lumps in the thread.

Tartan

I use good quality thread usually my Aurifil. I use one strand and do the lock stitch at the start with my needle so the needle stays threaded.

I have Connecting Threads and Coats and Clark. Both are fine.

Sync

I usually use Aurifil or Connecting Threads 50wt.

Aurifil 50wt usually, though I have done some with leftover hand quilting thread just to try to use that up.

I use whatever is on hand and is the color I need. Could be hand quilting thread or general sewing thread. Does not matter to me as long as it is the correct color.

I bought some C&C quilting thread long ago and if the color works, I use it. I find that quilting thread doesn't tangle as badly as plain thread.
