Have a question for you rag quilters. What kind of thread do you use. Joann's is having a half price sale on thread this coming weekend and i'd like to stock up a little. Thanks

If I buy thread at JoAnns, I usually get the Gutterman threads. If they carry Metler, that's really good too. Coast and Clarks is not a great thread.

Gutterman is a real good thread.

At my guild a couple months ago we had a "tread expert" speak to us. I used to think that you had to use "all cotton" thread but as long as it a good quality thread you can use polyester or even rayon if you want. I am talking about machine quilting. If you are hand quilting, there is a special hand quilting thread too.

I always just use the coats and clark , and so far have not had any problems.
