I'm working on my Downy Quilt and I am thinking of using Presencia 50wt cotton thread for piecing (top and bobbin) and a variegated YLI thread for quilting (top and bobbin). Is this something you might do? It's my first Downy quilt and I want to do a good job and of course the same goes with all my other projects.
Thanks,
