    Default jean quilt

    Hello! I have all of my squares cut out to make a jean quilt. Just basic squares. I have bought some of the Schmetz Denim needles. I am wondering about thread

    Do you think some thread work better with denim? I am planning on using Alex Anderson Masterpiece for piecing. Do you think this thread is ok?

    I think I would opt for a slightly heavier thread. The comments in this thread (no pun intended ) might help:

    i was going to suggest a heavier thread because of the weight of the quilt. when it's moved around, the weight puts more stress on the seams
