Hello all -

I need help from the experts, so I'm coming to you. I'd like to place a thread order from Connecting Threads. I would like to buy enough threads to quilt several lap-sized quilts, and also stock up on some neutral thread for piecing.

1st question: How much thread does it take to quilt a small quilt?

2nd question: The cones (5,000 yds) look huge. Will they be too big to put on the machine's spool (Pfaff 1200)? Along the same line, will the spool (1,200 yds) fit in the machine's spool tray (Pfaff 2038 and 1475)?

3rd question: I understand I want to use 100% cotton for quilting. Is this true? If not, what are the advantages/disadvantages of using another type?

Thanks for all your help.

Darren
