I'd say start with some silicon drops (Sewers Aide) and spread 4-5 rows on thread. This helps so much, for a variety of things,
Do you mean to spread the Sewers Aide up and down the cone of thread in 4-5 rows? Does it saturate before using the thread, or do you have to reapply it during the quilting process? Just exactly what does it do to the thread? You have been most helpful. BTW, I did have a new size 16 needle and the lady had sent polyester batting to use in her quilt. Also, the quilt backing was a densely woven cotton also.
