Would you use a dissolveable thread on your quilting machine?
Hello, I have this gigantic spool of dissolveable thread a friend gave me eons ago. Where she got it will be a mystery as she died a couple years ago so can't ask her. Anyway, a friend asked me if I could baste some of her smaller quilts so she can try her hand at quilting them on her DSM with some new rulers she picked up. I've always ponder over how folks that baste their quilts before they actually quilt them........how do you get the basting stitches out afterwards? Don't they get caught by the quilting pattern thread? As this is dissolveable thread and I always wash my quilts before I give them out as gifts this would be a great way to baste before I quilt them.
Any pros and/or cons you see with using this thread? Could it damage my machine? Gum it up?
Advice is greatly appreciated from you all. Thanks.
