I did not know there was such a thing as washable thread or I would have tried it. Since it is already basted, I guess I will go on and quilt and pull a few threads out as I go. Hope this doesn't turn into a frustrating mess. It's a charity quilt for a childrens hospital and I wouldn't want to put any curses (cursing) on it! Wish me luck.
Thanks for all the tips. My next quilt will be different. Guess this is part of the learning process.
