Question about a thread I'm wanting to use
How durable is rayon thread? I have been asked to quilt a top that is (to me) a less than lovely quilt. It is to be given to a child. The quilt is expected to be laundered often and receive so rugged use.
Some of the quilt's patches has rose cabbages in the material. I plan to use a rose edge-to-edge when quilting. To make the quilt more beautiful I would like to use a color that will make the quilting pop. Which brings me to my question above:
It is an orange rayon and used for decorative stitching. Is it durable enough to withstand frequent washing if I use a sturdier thread in the bottom? Also, will the color fade over time? I would like for it to hold...but sturdy is my first priority.
Anyone know whether this would work or not?
