I am a LA quilter for hire and I use batting and thread color of customers choice. it is noted on their order form. I do use certain brands of thread that my LA likes but I have many colors and with customer if they bring their quilt to me pick out the thread color and note it on the form. IF don't have right color I will get it and same with panto patterns will order one if needed. I do all types of quilting. find a new quilter.
