I have been free motion quilting my quilts and just purchased an embroidery machine. Can I use the same threads for the embroidering machine on my little sewing machine to do the free motion stuff? The woman who sold this to me also gave me her stash of threads and she recommended that I not use certain ones because she found a brand that was better for embroidering. It occurred to me that maybe I can use the bad ones for my quilt. They are really pretty colors and I hate to let them go to waste. Thanks for your input. by the way, the are not cotton thread.
