Not all comments were negative. While some did take exception, and I will have to admit my reply to you on the thread, upon re-reading it did sound a bit harsh, I apologize, please do not stop contributing on the board with posts and topics. Every once in a while a topic just seems to ruffle feathers and there is no getting around it. Please, read and POST. Everyone has something to contribute and your post was not offensive it just seemed to touch a few nerves. Look at the bright side, you learned something new about using polyester thread and the notion that polyester cuts through cotton is a myth!! :lol: ;-) :lol: And a few others did too! I know I can't stand to propigate mis-information and I am always glad to find out something I thought was true was really just myth brought on by traditions. I bet you have a lot to contribute. You are obviously a dedicated quilter and I am sure you have learned a few valuable tricks over the years. Do not let this one not so great experience sour you on posting and contributing to the QB.
One quilt pattern interpreted by 20 different people will result in 20 very different quilts, proof that we all can read the same set of words and get many different ideas from them. Just as those quilts are likely all lovely, so are the thoughts and opinions presented on this board. I learned a lot from this thread, about threads and fibers and backings and uses and people. I thank you all for participating in this conversation, and our original poster for starting it!
