sewing thread
 

What brand of thread do you use to piece your quilt tops?

I use thread from Connecting Threads-Essential Egyptian Cotton Satin Finish.

We only use Connecting Threads. Practically unlimited colors and we've never had anything but excellent results with it. Price is good, they have great sales, and shipping is free at $50 order.

I use Aurifil.

I use Aurifil thread for piecing as well as Mettler silk finish. Both are 50wt

I'm no purist--meaning I use lots of different threads. I find that I choose by weight of the thread more than anything--in blocks with lots of pieces I tend to go with a higher # (at least a #50 but often a #100). For something like a rail fence block, pretty simple, I'll use a lower # weight. I know lots of folks dog on Coats & Clark thread, but I find that their thread really doesn't tangle or knot when I'm sewing down a binding.

I useConnecting Threads, Threadart, or Guttermann.

Most of my thread is the "older" cotton covered polyester Dual Duty thread made by Coats & Clark.

None of my machines object to it.

I did not even know about some of these other threads until I started reading this forum.

I've started using some of the polyester threads that I bought when I was sewing knits back in the 70s.

Aurifil and Prescencia for piecing. I just bought some from Missouri Star Quilt Company but haven't tried it yet.

Aurifil 50wt cotton thread for piecing. Super strong & thin, and ultra low-lint so I don't need to to service my machine as often.
