WOW! A Great Video For Beginners Like Myself. She Spoke Very Clear and Direct. I Was Able To Absorb All Her Information. Thank You for Your Time and Help!
Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge. I have learnt so much from you. You must have saved me decades of time i world have needed for trial and error .
I piece with 50 weight cotton thread (either mettler or Essential thread from Connecting Threads) but I love to do my quilting with Isacord thread. It is thin but strong and glides through my machine (especially when I FMQ) beautifully.
Thank you so much for your explanations! I finally get it! I am actually doing some hand embroidery and I don’t really like the regular DMC thread. Now I am confident to buy some other thread online, thank you!
This was very helpful! Your videos always are. I feel that you are a gifted teacher because after viewing one of you tutorials I feel empowered to experiment and be myself, and just enjoy this beautiful hobby I love . Thank you!!
Very useful , I work on Sweet 16 Handy Quilter and love using Madera threads. Sometimes I find the thread breaks a lot. Do threads have shelf life? Your reply will be appreciated. Veena
Hi, If stored properly, threads can last for years and years. The most common issue that causes thread breakages are dull needles or having your needle tension too tight.
Hi,Yes, you can do this. It is sometimes very common for quilters to use the same weight of thread in both the needle and the bobbin as this can help alleviate any tension issues caused when using different thread weights.
I’ve been told not to put “fuzzy” thread through my machine because it would build up lint in the machinery. Is this true or just a way for the store to sell more thread?

Hi, generally there is not a different in the thread type, but rather the thread weight. Many quilters piece using a 40 to 50 wt thread and they may choose to use a lighter or heavier thread when quilting, depending on how much they want the quilting to show.
As a first time quilter, I have learnt so much from this video. Thankyou
Many questions-even some I didn’t know I had-have now been answered-thank you!

Hi,
If stored properly, threads can last for years and years. The most common issue that causes thread breakages are dull needles or having your needle tension too tight.
Of course, this is a really old video and nowadays polyester is used a heck of a lot more and especially long armers
great informative video. one question. would it be ok to use a 40wt for the bobbin thread as well when quilting?
Hi,Yes, you can do this. It is sometimes very common for quilters to use the same weight of thread in both the needle and the bobbin as this can help alleviate any tension issues caused when using different thread weights.
thank you, what flax thread should i use to quilt?

is there a video to say which needle to use with which thread for sewing machine's? I have problems with this
I know your comment is six years old but I am guessing that you got your answer
Is there a difference between threads for the machine piecing vs. machine quilting?
Hi, generally there is not a different in the thread type, but
rather the thread weight. Many quilters piece using a 40 to 50 wt

Don't all quilts get laundered?
