Machine Quilting Thread Recommendations
I would like to know what type of thread is recommended for machine quilting. I am using a Baby Lock Ellegante 2. I have been using Robison Anton Cotton for quilting (I use R.A. Poly for embroidery). I like the R.A. cotton, but my local shop has stopped carrying it. I bought some Sulky Cotton 30 wt., but it broke a lot! I was disappointed in its performance. I quilted one quilt with Mettler cotton 50 wt, and it did fine, but the shop doesn't carry that any more either. I may have to shop online for quilting thread, but I would like to know what thread others have had success with. So, here are my questions:
1- Should I be staying with 100% cotton for quilting?
2- What weight is best for quilting?
3- Does the thread weight depend on batting or density of quilting?
Thank you in advance for your opinion and assistance :-)
