Has anyone used varied cotton thread (two tone) with success for hand quilting?
My quilt is scrappy, plain light blocks with patterned 4 patch, I have found the perfect thread in black and purple on special which is great for me as I am on a budget, the thread is 100% cotton and I did the tough test, so no problems with the thread, just wondering if it is better used for machine quilting, it just says quilting on the label does not mention hand quilting. I want dark against light for my iris flowers to stand out on the plain blocks I am more interested in the end result, what kind of effect will result, has anyone any pics of their work using the varied thread they would like to share?
Many thanks
