Hot Gram, only hand quilters will tell you that
they would be hard to quilt through, perhaps! I do machine quilting on a frame and all my quilts go to charities, so I buy what fits my budget. Those who get my quilts don't pay too much attention to thread count or that sort of thing. They are just happy to have a quilt. Most of mine have gone to people with AIDS. They are so appreciative.
