I just started trying to do hand quilting, and I find the hand quilting thread so much easier to sew with than the cotton thread I use for machine quilting. Do you use hand quilting thread for hand binding? It would seem to be a really good idea since it doesn't get all tangled up the way machine quilting cotton does.

I just use machine sewing thread to hand sew the binding. I use Thread Heaven and always thread my needle with the end that comes off the spool and I put my thumb on the spot where the thread goes into the binding. A little old lady told me to do that years and years ago and it does help stop the tangling.
