Tentmakers thread?
So I was watching the tentmakers of cairo applique on youtube:

(this one has a lady explaining it in English). It is fascinating that they use such a long needle and push with the side of their thimble. But what I want to know is where to get that thread that never tangles! even the commentator says the thread is so crummy we would never buy it, but I want some! I am sick and tired of thread tangles. Anyone know the thread type?

I also saw them at the Road To California quilt show a few years ago. They are very rough on their thread.
They tug and pull with a lot of strength. I'm sure we'd all love to hear your opinion if you purchase a spool.
Keep us posted.

Here is a fascinating video of a tentmaker's project from start to finish!! Not in English, but not needed. No pattern used!
