Connecting Threads Purchases
I buy thread from Connecting Threads. I use Essential Pro cones at my LA. It is thin, 70 wt. poly with the look of cotton. I also piece with it on my DSM. It's a nice and inexpensive thread to use when starting out LAing. It works great for charity quilts and any quilt where the purpose is to quilt the layers. The thread is thin, it does not stand out as a 40 wt thread does. It is strong and I rarely have bobbin/top thread tension issues when using it. The down side is that doesn't come in as many colors as their Essentials small cones/spools. The small cones and spools are cotton 50 wt., as most cotton threads, creates lots of LA lint in the bobbin area.
