It is my understanding from the ladies at my LQS that embroidery thread CANNOT be used for FMQ because it is not strong enough to keep the layers together it it gets a lot of use. Also, I always use same thread in top as bottom. Did I not understand the ladies at my LQS? They did however tell me that I could use embroidery thread to topstitch the quilttop in decorative designs BEFORE the quilt top was quilted.
