Sheri, That's good information for me on thread weights. I just looked at the threads in my thread boxes and most of them do NOT have any 40-50 or 60 on them. A couple of the older ones "Talon" brand say 50 and many of them say "all purpose" . I saw one obviously thick thread and the spool said 35. I suppose when I buy thread now I should be watching and asking about the thread weight. I was happy to have so many colors now and to not feel like I have to buy a new spool with every project I do.
I would be curious to learn what weight is best for machine quilting too. I'll be doing that in the future.
