Another WNY'er! And a question
Hi! I'm Rayenbo (a name I made-up based on my middle name.) I am born & raised in SNOWLESS & WARM! Western New York. I recently returned to quilting about 2 years ago, when I wanted to make a special gift for my nephew's first baby (see my profile picture.) I rediscovered my love of quilt making. Love piecing, but not so much the 'quilting' process. So..... now I have to make a quilt for baby #2. Top is pieced, & I love it. I plan to gift it for Christmas. Yikes!!!! Not much time, I have to quilt it myself - on a regular sewing machine. Sew, here's my question - what thread do I use in my machine? Multi purpose or machine quilting? (Oh, and not only do I have this quilt to quilt, but I also have a quilt for baby# 1, my adorable niece! Yes, for Christmas!) Thank you for the assistance I know you friendly & knowledgeable quilters (I have looked at this forum MANY times, but hadn't registered, so I know you are wonderful people) will offer to me. My machine is a New Home Memory Craft 600, an oldie but it works well for most of my basic sewing needs. I use Coats & Clarkes thread- this is what is readily available for me.

Welcome from FREEZING Southern California. I use high quality thread like Aurifil or Mettler silk wrapped thread. I find the threads sold at JoAnn fabric tend to be very linty when using them to quilt with.
