I used really cheap thread for projects for years before I realized that the problem wasn't me but my thread. Once I started buying what I knew the art of the craft deserved---maybe not the top of the line, but adequate, not bargain basement stuff, sewing and quilting started getting easier.
If you can't get satisfaction from the seller or e-bay, just chalk it up to experience, and forge ahead with new fabric that you can see and feel before buying. Please don't let this deter you from doing something rewarding.
Hi Snip Snip, thanks for the advice. I will have to just carry on and do my best to learn and improve. I did buy good quilting thread and regular 100% cotton thread so I am off to a good start (I hope lol)
