When making it a choice for quilting, one needs to ensure they are clear on the role the thread is to play. <br /><br />Because it is 80wt, it is a perfect choice for complex blocks where there is a confluence of seams. It stitches beautifully, but care must be take to match with the correct needled. Microtex 70 or 80 works well. I just bought 70 needle to test, and I prefer the 70--but MINOR diff between 80.<br /><br />Thanks so much for your blog post on the threads,Leisa♠https://www.blogger.com/profile/10237875938400587600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-62256605845075951222020-10-04T15:46:46.592-04:002020-10-04T15:46:46.592-04:00I fell in love with Superior thread some years ago...I fell in love with Superior thread some years ago, and have a great collection of regular-sized spools of King Tut -- mostly variegated -- for my landscapes. I also like Superior's Masterpiece and So Fine for piecing. I don't do much in the way of free-motion, but I have some Bottom Line which I've used in the bobbin for that. And I like the Monopoly (clear) which I've used from time to time when I don't want colour on the surface. I also find with Superior that I'm not getting as much lint in my machine. My main objection to Wonderfil and Aurifil is the 'put-up'. I don't like the tube; I prefer spools with a top and bottom on them! :-)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-82054212383654398352020-10-03T06:26:43.610-04:002020-10-03T06:26:43.610-04:00My machine has settings where you can use a bobbin...My machine has settings where you can use a bobbin thread and a heavier thread on top and it'll make it look like and quilting it's so coolNina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364828980944336570.post-33699788017323009992020-10-03T06:25:41.270-04:002020-10-03T06:25:41.270-04:00Do you know I never see the reply on my computer b...Do you know I never see the reply on my computer but I see it here on my phone app. That's so weird. I definitely agree 100%. So many times it's like does my machine like this certain thread or not. That's why when I did this test I just literally sit down and didn't pitch it with any of the settings. I just threw the thread on my machine and just started sewing to see how it would work out.

Each thread company can say what they want about their products but the end user doesn't always agree.I have not tried Wonderfil but I would be so happy if I could find a thread I like for piecing that I could also use on my longarm.

But I also love most of Superior's threads including Fantastico for FM. I have quite a large collection of different types of threads after reading others' recommendations. I ended up labeling my boxes so I could quickly find what I want to use. I also still use for FM Gutterman 50wt poly in both top and bobbin. I bought some Wonderful Spagetti 12 wt cotton recently but haven't used it yet. I'm obsessed with getting FM that is individual stitches and not a straight line. I found that regardless of thread, black thread always turns into a line. But I'm trying to live with that!
