Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with me!

I've done FMQ on a domestic machine with Sulky Rayon without a problem. It would be great for an art quilt. Early on I decided to quilt a quilt with it. Big mistake. It looked great and was easy to use, but didn't withstand repeated washings.

I don't know any machine embroiderers that use rayon thread anymore. They all said it is pretty but will not stand the test of time. At the guild free table a big bin of rayon thread of all colors was on the free table. No one took it.
