Purplefiend - Is there any difference between these brands? Is one stronger, better to sew with or does one leave more lint in the bobbin chamber?
The King Tut at my LQS is $13./spool - I like it but it is pricey so thought I woud try a few others.[/quote]
The Valdani comes in 35wt. and 50 wt. King Tut is a 40wt. thread that is nearly lint free,Robison-Anton that I use is 50wt. YLI (40wt.)is just wonderful stuff , not real linty either; and Aurifil is nearly lint free too. It depends on the quilt as to what thread I use, they all do beautifully in a home sewing machine. Some of them work better with a long arm quilter machine. I experimented with the different brands/weights to see what I liked and worked best for me. When I'm machine quilting I use a 90/14 or 100/16 top stitch or denim needle, machine quilting needles if I can find them.
Does that answer your questions?
