I went to Joann's looking for fabric to add to my hexagon quilt and the saleslady ask me what I was making. I told her an English paper pieced 1-inch hexagon quilt and she told me I should be using hand quilting thread. Since I didn't know any better, I bought a few spools. It's been ok to use, I haven't had problems with it tangling or knotting so I assume it's going ok, lol...I think everybody should have a quilting angel, I'm just waiting to find one...I feel so stupid when I ask questions and responses from some of the ladies who have quilted for many years. The instructions online just said to stitch them together. I actually think the person giving the tutorial used DMC embroidery thread.

However, I only use hand quilting thread for hand quilting, not piecing. How did it go??
