I am having such a tough time trying to figure out what my machine likes. It has to be my machine--not me LOL
If I try using cotton thread while I'm quilting (machine quilting with or without my frame) the thread will continuously snap and break. Every 6-8 inches...SNAP. How frustrating! If I use a poly blend thread, it doesn't happen. Adjusting the tension does not work.
I have heard that using poly thread eventually "eats/cuts" away at the cotton fabric ruining the quilt.
Oh well. I don't have the option. I've tried lots of things but until I figure it out, all my quilts are made with poly threads.
