Gold thread
Is there a gold thread that is as soft and strong as regular thread for FMQ? My experience with gold thread is from the 90s. It was a little stiff and broke way too often. The quilt I'm working on doesn't tell me any color that will work for FMQ it - usually, I like variegated, but it says, "No". I wonder about a gold colored poly embroidery thread. The quilt is black prints, red, turquoise, soft gold. yellow, agua, etc.

You sure can. It's ready for appliqueing so I am going to check my thread supply before going to the store. I know I have a gold poly machine embroidery thread and probably have gold poly or cotton.

I found a poly variegated in my stash that may work for the quilting, but I'm not comfortable using it to applique the fan to the background. I may try treating like a giant Drunkard's Path block. If I can do a 9 inch one, I can do a 40 inch one. Right?
