Good Sewing Thread
What is the best thread to use when sewing on your quilt seams. Lately I have been having trouble with coats&clark white cotton not breaking but sort of fraying and having to stop and re-thread several times during sewing, new needle & everything working fine except for that, any suggestion on better thread. Tk, JU.

I use Aurifil. My machine doesn't seem to like Coats & Clark-it shreds every time. If I have to buy something right away I'll get Gutterman.
You could try a bigger needle. With a #12 I had shredding problems with Connecting Threads thread but it's not as bad with a #14.

If your thread is fraying you need a different size or type of needle different types have different eyes may cause it... The wrong size for the weight of thread will cause fraying too...that being said... My machine does not accept coats & Clark thread for some reason. I use thread from Connecting Threads and Aurifil thread most of the time
