Hi-

I am really new to all this and have made a few quilts, but now I want to get more serious as I bought a frame and plan to do my own FMQ. My question is in thread choice. HELP!!

I really like the bottom line thread from Superior and am going to try out some other thread called Poly Quilt from superior, but then I go on the internet and see a million and one choices.

What are the options? I was also looking for a thread kinda thicker like embroidery floss..is there such a thing??

Thanks!

If you are interested in learning..Superior Threads does a fantastic job of teaching the why's when's & how's of thread. I got to sit in on a mini lecture with Bob at the OKC Quilt Show. I learned alot I didn't know & they have a very informative NewsLetter. =)
