Topic: Month 6 Question - Bobbin Threads? (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a new 12-month quilting journey as we bring you a fabulous quilt designed especially for TQS by Sarah Vedeler. Sedona Star is a spectacular medallion quilt that features a beautiful center star surrounded by a charming array of appliqué elements.

Each month we will provide a photo and detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, as well as full-size patterns. Sedona Star finishes at approximately 88” x 88” inches. One version features a total of sixteen different print fabrics, including colorful shades of blue, pink, purple, yellow, red and gold; however, Sarah is providing another alternative color option and instructions for each month as well. Fabric kits for both colorways area available in limited quantities through the TQS Shoppe.

You want to make sure your tension is set so that your top threads are pulled down under, and you have no bottom thread peaking up to ruin your look! Maggie in E. Central Illinois

Month 6 Question - Bobbin Threads? 03 Jun 2012 10:04 #81783

mellymoo OFFLINE Posts: 74 Thank you received: 17	Would anyone share some advise on what thread is best to use in the bobbin when sewing the embroidery designs. I am intending to use the Aurifil cotton mako 50 weight threads but my usual bobbin thread is a polyester. Would I be better using a cotton thread in the bobbin or would the poyester be better for strength.... I have too many choices and too little knowledge
