My head is spinning about thread info!
I have read many articles on threads. But what I'm stuck on (among other issues) is the bobbin thread. Well, I guess maybe the top thread too!
I have read that, for instance, the Bottom Line is great for the bobbin when quilting and doing applique. But, I've also read that the top and bobbin thread should be the the same to avoid problems with tension. Shouldn't the top thread be a "heavier" cotton when quilting? I also want a thread that doesn't cause a lot of lint. Wouldn't that mean a polyester? Shouldn't a top quilting thread be cotton? Can you have the top cotton and the bottom polyester/thick cotton with fine polyester?
HELP please. I am totally confused. And I know that brands are a matter of taste, but any words of wisdom would be appreciated. I've asked the owner of one of my fabric stores on her choices, but get many variables on her answers.
