Thread for Binding
#21
I use New Bedford Thread Do furrier Wased Skein for hand sewing. It comes in a very convenient package. It never knots or gets twirly and is very strong. The one I use is called Size A (I have no idea what that means) and comes in a 675 yard package. I use it for all of my hand sewing. I even use it for handsewing sewing my stuffed animals arms and legs on. It is very strong, and very easy to use. My LQS carries this.

I use the same thread as for piecing in a color that is neutral to the quilt rather than the binding. I find the binding side of sewing rarley shows, It is usually the quilt side that shows the thread stitch and that is why I use a color to go with the quilt.

I do the same IF I happen to hand bind. I normally like to bind using my machine. I've found that it stands up to repeated washing better. But you wouldn't have that problem if the quilt is not going to be washed alot. Good luck.
