What type of thread would you recommend that I use in my Avante. Don't call the quilt police on me, but I throw ALL of my quilts in a warm washer after finishing to give them that old quilty look. Does poly thread have the same look? I am currently using 100% cotton and it has a tendency to break while quilting. I always thought that if you use 100% cotton fabrics that you should use 100% cotton thread.

Thanks! I will give it a try! Nothing more frustrating than getting "in the zone" then having to step out of it when the thread pops. What size needle do you you use? I normally use Warm and Natural batting.

I have an Avante also - I use cotton because that is my preference - usually Signature thread or King Tut or Coats and Clarks - 100% cotton - I don't have problems with threads breaking - perhaps you have a tension problem?
