Hi happyquiltmom,
I recall you told me about Presencia thread which I had not known about when I asked about your Bernina record 830.
I didn't win the 830 I was after so lashed out and bought a 750 QE.
I came across some Presencia thread at a local quilt store and it quilted beautifully.
I use one colour in the bobbin to blend with the backing fabric and a different colour for the top. The results have been amazing and tension perfect so far.
However it turns out I was using La Paleta which is a 35wt Rayon.
Topstitch 90/14 needle.
I didn't realize there was a cotton thread, until I was sent a free spool by my supplier.
This rayon is fuzz free, strong, has a lovely sheen, ties off well and buries beautifully.
I like King Tut and YLI also. It depends what look I am after.
I did read somewhere rayon wasn't any good for quilting.
I can't recall why not and I would be grateful if anyone can enlighten me.
