Denis - mainly I was referring to piecing the quilt. But would also like suggestions for which thread works best on different fabrics. I do think I would generally prefer cotton thread for cotton quilt piecing. But recently worked on a soft flannel - receiving blanket - YES, FIRST one - another newbie project! That fabric had lots of give and wondered, if using the cotton thread was still the best option. I recently purchased some poly blend - embroidery thread - this was to use for the fancy stitching on top piece.
Not trying to be picky - just would like to know the preferred thread - if there is one! lol.....
thanks all so far - great input and references! sue.
