Decobob bobbin thread and long arm quilting???
My sister in law came to quilt her quilt on my long arm machine. The thread dealer she bought her thread from recommended DecoBob for top and bottom as it is 80 wt and would sink in and not be dominant over the piecing - this is the look she wanted.
We had trouble getting the top thread not to break, even with the tension very light. So, executive decision made that in order to get this quilt done, we changed threads on the top.
The quilt turned out very good and my sister in law is thrilled.
My questions----
1. What is the secret to get Decobob to run on the top without breaking?
2. Is Decobob thread strong enough for a quilt that's going to be used and washed?
She left me the thread, and a box of prewound bobbins so I'm interested in knowing how to use this on the long arm....
Any and all info/help appreciated!
