I've been busy piecing and quilting. I tried sulky cotton thread. I used Sulky blendables 30 wt. in the color Natural Taupe for the quilt above. I am so in love with this! I feel like for the first time, since I began free-motion quilting, that I am actually drawing with the thread. It looks great.
I also purchased some of Sulky's 12 wt. thread which is more thick than your ordinary thread. I think this will look great with the linen that I work with. I really need something that will show up. The other threads seem to get lost in the linen.
What thread do you use?
* If you e-mailed about the PDF and did not hear back from me, it was because you were a no-reply address. Please get in touch with me if you still want the pattern while I am offering it for free. It goes on sale next Monday in my shop to benefit St. Jude. Thanks guys!♥Erin*
this is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I'll have to look into that thread. The quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI use Aurifil and Mettler most of the time. You work looks great!
ReplyDeleteHey Erin. For fmq, I use Gutermann and Aurifil. For piecing, I mostly use the thread from Connecting Threads. For straight-line quilting, I can use anything, and have used some neat colors of Sulky threads. In fact, this next quilt I'll be working on will be quilted with a green variegated Sulky thread.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I got thread today and the Sulky was all poly so I passed and got the Gutermann instead. I'll have to keep my eyes open.
