Why Do The Threads In My Quilts Keep Breaking?
About a year after I had finished a super large bargello quilt, I noticed that some of the quilting had come loose. No big deal, I would just fix it. Then, I noticed last night that my newest quilt, just finished this past summer had the same problem. The bargello was quilted with cotton variegated thread from Coats & Clark and the newer quilt was quilted with 40w embroidery thread from Coats & Clark and that quilt hasn't even been washed yet.
I've had this problem before with Sulky threads but never C&C. I've tried the break test with both threads and they held up, trust me. My finger's still sore. Just not sure what's going on. I'd blame the washer but the newer one hasn't been washed yet and hardly even used. I just put it on my bed recently. Any ideas what's causing the breakage?
