The Glazed cotton is a hand quilting thread. The coating is to help with keeping it from tangling while hand sewing. It will gum up your machine...and you need to buy a different thread for machine use.

Well when I was winding the bobbins to prepare for an afternoon of sewing (I hope), it seems not really wind tight. I don't know, just seemed different. All I have used thus far is Coats and Clark from Wal-Mart.

I am heading to Wal-Mart today so should I pick up some more thread? I would hate to start this quilt (55"x65", approx) and then it fall apart because of bad thread.

Thanks!
