yes butterflywing, the thread is doing just great now, thanks for all ur suggestions, they all worked. i finished it and took it off the frame, squared it up and am ready to make the binding. also ready to do another one. i still have some problems though and trying to figure them out, kinda hard to even explain in writing. has to do with loading the quilts and being able to quilt all the way to the edge of the top, the bungee cords get in the way so i cut me some fabric about 6 inches wide and length of quilt, proceeded to sew those strips to all 4 sides of quilt backing and hooked the bungee cords to that, lot of extra work but it worked. i'll send pic after i get the binding on. my quilting has improved so much over the first whole cloth practice quilt that i threw in the trash. second one went to a friend's dog, 3rd & 4th ones looked better but this is actually the first quilt i've done on lizzie and am pleased but still have a long way to go before i feel i'm good at it.
