Hi, Watson - while i haven’t done any thread painting or embroidery, i do use the trilobal thread for FMQ and its great!
I used to be an Aurifil only girl, but tried Glide 40wt and im hooked! I use it on both my Janome 6600 and my sitdown longarm with wonderful results. I recently joined a thread of the month club on Bold Notion Quilting - saves you 20% with the club. I just started the pre-wound bobbin club also. Thread is expensive... helps to save where you can and i am really impressed with the Glide thread. Just my two cents 😊
