I love Superior Thread. They have many types, but I especilally like the "So Fine" because it creates less dust and more goes on my bobbin - It is very thin. I go on line to Superior Threads and buy it that way. The large spools last forever. I have a Horizon Janome and it loves this thread.

I use Gutermann 100% cotton 50wt for all my piecing. I buy the neutral colors and do not change colors except if I need a dark or lighter neutral.
|
I like a lot of different threads, but really like Superior threads, and love King Tut - it is nice and thin and doesn't have much fuzz! There are still more I would like to try, but are hard to get locally.

Seems that everyone has the same answer that I do. I use regular thread and it is usually C&C. If I am working on something that will not show I use whatever colors I have to use up older thread.

I use CC all purpose and have had no problems.

You CAN use Quilting Thread in your machine - but not a good idea if you are piecing. Since Quilting Thread is thicker it can add too much bulk to your seams. The thread you want to avaoid in your machine is Hand Quilting Thread- this is the thread that is coated and will mess up a machine. There are lots of great Quilting Threads out there (including King Tut) that work great for doing your actual quilting on your machine. Hope this helps!

My machine lets me know if it doesn't like the thread that I'm using....and I listen!

I use the thread from connecting thread and use it for piecing and quilting and have no problems
