Quilting with 2-threads again????
Hello, there's been some talk on using 2 or more threads while quilting. I'm just about ready to try my hand at this and want to clarify a few questions I still have. I know I'll be using embroidery polyester 40wt thread in my needle as I know it is strong and won't break as easy. I tried to use cotton quilting thread in my last attempt and it broke continually. So next it was suggested to use at least a size 18 needle, okay got them. Now my question is since using 2 or more threads would it be advisable to look for a pattern that is not too stitch intensive or does it matter?
I want to quilt some upholstery type fabric for new dining chair coverings using motif patterns. Have been looking in my collection of patterns but then I thought maybe they might be too dense so thought I best ask you all that have done this type of quilting in the past.
So what type of patterns will I get the best results from??????
Thanks all for your suggestions.
