I like the ideas of 18" thread and threading several needles at a time. Do you double your thread or just use one strand? I learned to quilt, quilting with children so I do whatever worked for them. I have a terrible time with thread twisting. Just a few stitches and my thread is wound up like a rubberband on a glider airplane. I've tried beeswax and it helps a little. Do you use different thread for quilting than for sewing? Lots of new questions. Thanks
