I love the quilt but I must offer my two cents. I just talked with my quilter, yes I send some of my quilts out to be quilted, and she mentioned that she won't quilt with the clear thread. I guess after a fair amount of use it can split the material at the point of stitching. After doing a beautiful job on the quilt I would hate to think of it getting split by quilting thread. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
