Need Thread Help Quick
I'm ready to sit down and start FMQ and STID my quilt and discovered the only thread I have in color I need is 100% polyester. Can I quilt with that? Both top and bobbin? Of course, I want to begin now. TIA
|
Personally I think it would be fine, but I am no expert and I am no longer a purest (i.e. all 100% cotton) when it comes to stuff like that.
|
Many many well known quilters use only poly. They use cotton for the piecing. I use only poly on my HQ as it produces so much less lint. Go for it.
|
Thank you for quick responses. I'm now stitching with poly.
|
look forward to seeing your finished quilt as I too, am probably going to be
quilting a lap quilt for a Christmas gift with a mixture of cotton threads, and bc of colors needed, some will be poly. I hope it goes super for both of us! :) |
I like polyester for FMQ because it is strong and less linty then cotton.
|
I've been using Poly lately simply because it has the best colors for my needs. Yes, I am enjoying the "lack" of Lint.
|
I learned it was okay to use poly when I took a FMQ class with Leah Day about 3 years ago...my go to is Isacord and/or Glide. Show us your finish...
|
Isn't it great to have so many choices. As quilters we are blessed with industry research and so many choices. I like Superior Threads and they certainly offer a wide range of poly and cotton threads and the education to use them to best advantage.

It's stronger and doesn't break going high speed.
