What is wrong with using Metrosene Polyester thread when piecing 100% cotton fabrics? This article says it's ok to do, but most say you should only use 100% cotton thread with cotton fabric. I am confused....
I too use a poly thread with 100% cotton fabrics. I have done this forever. My mother used it for garment sewing and my great aunt used it in ALL of her quilts. I just don't buy into the theory that the thread will eventually "slice" thru the cotton fabric. My theory is that the cotton fabric just gets weaker and ages as it is used and the poly thread doesn't. JMHO
