Hello,

I have recently (about 5 years now) fallen in love with quilting. I was given a gift of quilting lessons for Christmas about 5 years ago by a dear friend who thought it would be great to do more things together as friends. (smile) ...little did she know that she evoked something that is here to stay.

Needless to say I am thoroughly addicted for life. My question (for now)is this. I machine quilt all my designs. What size thread do you suggest to give a thicker hand quilted look, as opposed to simply a stitched-on-a machine look to the finished designs?

Thanks,
Natalie

Do you already use machine quilting thread?

Welcome Natalie,
Yes, quilting is addictive but so beneficial to quilter and receiver. It's good therapy and wonderful enjoyment!

Glad to see you here,
Sharon
