Thank you ! Very helpful.
Can I use quilting thread on a regular machine that has a horizontal spindle for loading thread.
Showed top thread, what do you use for bottom in each weight of thread?
I always match my top thread to my bottom thread. That way, I don't have to worry about different colors poking through the top or bottom.
I'm using a sewing machine that has a horizontal spool pin. My quilting thread is the same size all the way up and then has a small plastic cylindrical part that protudes from the center of the spool and causes the spool cap to fit so poorly that it rattles around and soon falls off the spindle. How do I get the thread to stay on the spindle so I can properly wind my bobbin and sew.
If we are sewing with a cone on our regular sewing machine, we just leave it sitting to the side. If it moves around, you can stick it in a mug.
I also struggle with size needle for the size thread. I have a sitdown long arm that uses a 16 or 18 needle. Help explaine, please.
Needles are opposite thread. The larger the number, the bigger the needle. Generally, you are going to want a larger needle for a heavier thread so that it fits through the eye without shedding and causing it to break. I use a 100/16 with the 40 or 50 weight threads.
What brand of thread do you use?
My favorites are Glide by Fil - Tec and So Fine by Superior Threads. Aurifil threads are also fantastic and great quality.
