Hello Quilters, can you tell me what weight of thread do you usually use to quilt? I recently purchased a 'new to me' sit down and was wondering what is most commonly used. I have some cones I had for years, but still strong. I can't break it when I try. It was leftover from factory work. Some cones say polyester wrap polyester, others the label is gone from the cone. Do you use polyester or cotton threads? Just wondering. Also, what is most commonly used color when you have multicolors in your quilt. For instance I just quilted a tan colored backing, but my pieced top was multicolored browns and tans. I used a khaki tan thread. It looks great in the center panel, but the brown bricks around show all my quilting. On the bed you don't notice but when you study it, you do. Please don't tell me invisible thread.
I bought a spool and could never find the end and ended up with a tangled mess. I think I threw it and I paid around $8 for a spool, not a cone, some time back. If I had to fool with another one, I'd probably hang myself with it. Thanks in advance for your comments-Toogie
