I was using a 40wt cotton thread and still had an issue. I think if anything you would have had better luck with a 50wt as it is a finer thread. I would try a poly thread. When I did my research I did have many other LA quilters respond that they used poly as the minkee fibers tend to want to stick to the cotton. Good luck with it! I have sworn off.
