What thread would be better. I always heard that cotton thread is for quilters. I'm always willing to learn.

Did you check your sewing advisor? On my Designer I there is a specific stitch for machine quilting even though it's 'free motion'. It's been too long since I looked at the D-II and I can't recall the settings on that machine. Do you having the quilting stitch card?

Yes, cotton thread is good but try a different brand and see if that helps your problem. There are MANY, better quality threads on the market. Madeira, Mettler, Aurifil, YLI, Superior just to name a few... Gutterman cotton thread may be o.k. for you.

I have been able to quilt with out my thread breaking. I again had taken my coat's and Cark off my top thread and put on a sulky. Still same bobbin threat (Coat @ Clark) I again changed my tension to 2.8. I also put a book by my pressure foot so that my heel is even with the rest of my foot. I just have been doing circles and a few hearts. There not very pretty but in a few short years I may be signing in as the Quilting Queen writing book staring in quilting movies. Ok ok I can dream can't I :lol: |
Great! Now there will be no stopping you!
Hmmm.....starring in quilting movies :?: Put me on the list to watch! 8-) Sounds very interesting! Honestly though, isn't it a great feeling when it begins to flow correctly? |
Somebody should think about turning Jennifer Chiaverini's books into movies. I can see them being on Lifetime. :)
