with all this thread talk I went to my fave distributor and check on prices...funny how everyone thinks Aurifil is costly, but in comparison per yard, it is cheaper than the Masterpiece!
Aurifil Mako Cotton Embroidery Thread 50wt 6452yds Solid MSRP $40.00
MasterPiece Cotton Thread 2-ply 50wt 3000yds Bisque MSRP $29.98
that is quite a difference!
Also under Superior thread they show a SILK 100wt..has anyone used that yet??
I also see that the Masterpiece now has prewound bobbins in dark neutrals and light neutrals! LOVE those for hand work...

or do you use mix, cotton on top and poly on the bottom?

I have used the bottom line and it's wonderful. However, I purchase mine through KenQuilt because it was cheaper and since we are just beginning that was quite helpful. Same thread - lesser price.
