Your recommendation for thread...

The quilters here use Poly. Thread confuses me so I use what ever I can find available. Guttermann is 100% poly. Germany does not make a lot of cotton threads and if they do they are hard to find. When I run out of what I have I'm just going to buy what I can here. I used C&C dual for years and my 10 year old quilts that get washed a zillion times are still completely in tact! My new machine just doesn't like it for FMQ I have to use 100% cotton. One lady here will not use anything else to piece with other then silk thread. I think it comes down to what works for you!!! Ive heard conflicting things on connecting threads too some think it's great others think it's crap. I figure no thread is crap it's all in how your machine reacts to it. Some fuzz in some machines some don't. If you already have something that works well in your machine I would not switch to anything else!

Totally agree!!!

I also use the Egyptian cotton thread from Connecting Threads...it's 50 weight (perfect for piecing), comes in every color and is very affordable. I've used this thread for several years and never had a problem. I stock up on Cream, Silver and Rosewood, as these seem to go with almost everything I do.
