Mising Threads
 

I have started quilting this flannel Chevron quilt. I ended up using 813 Mettler Silk finished which matched better than the Dove gray from Aurifil. I had yellow and white in Mettler but I don't have a dark gray. Can I use the Aurifil dark gray which is 50/2 with the Mettler which is 50/3? Thanks!

Sure you can. They are the same weight ( I've quilted without issue using 3 different weight threads) being same weight the fact one is 2 ply the other 3 isn't going to be apparent. No one is going to know except you that you used a different thread.

Great quilt!

Love your quilt-nice colors.

yes indeed you can

Absolutely! The 3-ply will be slightly thicker (more like an Aurifil 40/2 thread) and it is a touch shinier but the strong difference in value should be enough to sufficiently hide those minor details.

Love the colours of your quilt.

Oh how I love your quilt. Looks like everyone agrees - the thread will not matter.

I couldn't add anything to the subject you were asking about, the girls seem to have you set. But, I really admire how many of your blocks with hard to match up fabrics are so nicely aligned. That must have taken some time and planning.

No, RedGarnet, it was simple with EQ7. I did change the order of the fabric from my drawing. I am very picky on which fabric goes where. It drives me absolutely crazy sometimes! I cut my strips 3.5" because that was the average width of most of these scraps that were donated to my church from RK.
