Machine Embroidery thread for Machine Applique?
So, I bought some beautiful colors for a baby quilt I'm soon to be making. Purchased some expensive to me $4.50 spools of Madeira embroidery thread. What I need is applique thread....can I use the embroidery thread for machine applique?
Ah, another senior moment...

I have. I liked the color, so I used it. I was too dumb to know any better. The quilt has been through several washes and looks fine. Maybe the quilt was too dumb to know any different, too!

From the research I've done, the poly-sheen is better than the rayon. I'm just starting with a new machine. Found that Hancock Fabrics has 30% off a lot of the time. Plus age 55+ gets an additional 15% off on 1st and 3rd Wednesday.

This quilt is appliquéd with mostly Madeira and one or two Superior Rainbow threads. I use embroidery thread most of the time for machine appliqué - I like the definition it gives.
