do you use for quilting by machine, cotton or poly?....Thanks for your help, Michele
|
When quilting by machine, I personally like the look of the sulky rayon, I use it a lot. I also use cotton, I think preference and what works best in which machine is a big factor.
|
There is no stead-fast rule for thread. I am a longarm quilter and prefer to use poly because it does not put off as much lint as cotton. I mostly use maxi-lock in the longarm.
It also depends on what type of quilting you are planning. If you are planning a fairly dense quilting design, i.e. stippling or bubbles I would suggest a thinner thread like a serger or embroidery thread. If you are planning a larger design and you want the quilting to stand out a bit then I would suggest a 50/3 cotton thread. These same rules apply to the thread you use in the bobbin. Good luck and please keep us posted. |
I use a cotton (Mettler Silk finish) on top and poly (Superior bottom line) on the bottom when quilting.
