I use a single hand quilting thread and wax it.

I was taught to hand quilt by a lady in her ninties only used a single thread.She had been quilting sence she was a youngster. Talk about experance.Wow

Single hand quilting thread. I buy all my cotton quilting thread in Jo-Ann's.

I hand quilt with single thread. Quilting thread.

Single thread for me too. No problems even with regular washing.

Always use single quilting thread.

I am the Lone Ranger.
I double even the quilt thread.

gatha here. I always quilt with a double thread. I think that it makes a stronger quilt.

The thread has a tendency to twist as we stitch. Every once in a while I grasp the thead near the quilt and let the thread and needle dangle. It will untwist itself. I use the beeswax too. Won't quilt without it.

And I always use a single thread. I was told by a seamstress years ago that double thread is not stronger. Just more visible and more apt to catch and be broken. A single thread melds with the fabric more.

Definitely single.

I always use only single thread when I hand quilt...

You use a single thread just be sure it is hand quilting thread not machine quilting thread because hand quilting is stronger.

Quilting thread is stronger and has a waxed coating to keep it from fraying. I think mettler has one of the best.
Only one strand.

single for me.

Supposedly, double thread will rub aggainst itself and wear -- maybe just an old wives tale, but I always use single.

single thread and I use hand quilting thread. Kelela

wow there is alot of single people on this thread... LOL I use single as well. The Amish in PA use the length of a yard and single. :D

Single never heard of using double??

I use Thread Heaven also and it is to die for like NJ quilter said. I used to use double thread because no one told me different. Now I use single and size 40 works well. Happy hand quilting

What really makes me happy is all the hand quilters still out there. My question is are you doing small peices or large quilts? Do you use a hope? My guild is quilting an opportunity quilt and we are doing it block by block. I am on my second block and will pick up three more at our next meeting if no one elas takes them. I love hand quilting almost as much as applique.

I hand quilt in a hoop for smaller projects and I use a quilting frame for the large quilts. But I have quilted large quilts in a hoop if the quilt is too large for the frame.I started quilting in 1974 or 1975 . It is relaxing and enjoy doing it.

I love hand quilting also..applique is my favorite. I made my granddaughter a sun bonnet sue quilt. Everytime I go to my daughters house and see it I can't believe I did that!....did you all ever feel that way? :)

That makes me happy, too! I am also an avid hand quilter and I mostly do bigger items (ca. 75"x75") in a hoop on a stand. I prefer hand quilting thread and use a single thread.

Single, hand quilting thread too.

Can you keep a secret, Our guild is makeing a freindship quilt for our leader her name is Sue. Guess what we are doing. It is a Sun Bonnet Sue and each member made a block with a message. I am not in the process of putting it together. It will be really a great littl quilt. She is not a member of this board so I don't have to worry that someone will tell her

Yep, single thread.

Single hand quilting thread.
