Binding - What Kind of Thread to Use?
Hi,
The last time I was renting time on the long arm, the owner was saying how she prefers polyester thread to quilt with, because it's a sturdier thread and will hold up longer over time. This made me wonder whether I should be using polyester thread when hand sewing the back to the binding on. I've always used the same thread that I have pieced with - cotton Aurifil. I certainly want the binding to stay on for years to come. What do you use? Thanks! |
I use Aurifil for sewing and putting on my binding. I sometimes use another thread to quilt with though.
|
I use Connecting Threads Essentials 100% cotton for piecing and Metro machine embroidery thread to FMQ, for hand sewing the binding to the back, I use hand quilting thread.
|
I use either all-purpose poly/cotton thread or hand quilting thread.

I usually use the hand quilting thread so it won't get into any tangles as I am hand sewing.
