Can we talk about thread?
I usually use the same thread to quilt as I use to sew and am questioning if this is the way to do it. I want to get 'serious' about thread and fabric lingo and quality, because I want this year to be the year I actually sew things to sell.
I have Gutermmann thread, some Mettler Metrosene, and some C&C Dual Duty. When I bought my Janome years ago the sales rep said to use good quality thread and at that time they had the Mettler. Some of you have been talking about Aurofil, is that for machine quilting or sewing or both?
Also, about fabrics. There are a few fabric shops near me, higher priced tho around $9+ yard to start. Is that what I should buy if I want to sell? Does price matter?
Any wisdom, websites, or books you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Now I need to go and remove some crooked stitches. I'm thinking stitch-in-the-ditch may be more stressful than free motion...
