Here is another, what I call quilting myth. The word has been around for years that one should not use poly thread or poly wrapped cotton thread when using cotton fabric. Something about "in time it will cut your fine quilts". I decided to really check this out. I was at a quilting event last week and stopped in one of the thread booths and ask the owner of the thread company the question. His first answer was "does the poly thread which blue jeans is sewed with cut the fabric?" I told him that was not a good example because the denim is a much heavier and stronger fabric. then he said his company had sewed on cotton thread with 100% poly thread and washed it about 50 times and there was no indication of the thread cutting the cotton fabric. This answer is good enough for me. and then I don't make quilts that will end up in a museum or still being used in the future however long that might be.
