    I have a mid-arm quilting machine and a quilt frame. I am new at free motion quilting but have been practicing. I need some advise from you wonderful people. What is the best thread to use for quilting and embelishing the quilting. There are so many kinds out there.

    I use King Tut, Singature & Marathon thread.
    I love King Tut varigated. The change in color is 1 inch.

    Use anything you like, most any thread should work. Saying that, I love King Tut, So Fine, and Isacord best.
