Thread question
#1
Do you match the thread weight in the bobbin to your upper thread? Also what kind of thread would you use to fmq flannel quilts? I just finished two flannel tops...never again!!! The lint has kept me sneezing and my nose running! I'll be glad to have them finished and sent to my ggs's. :( I wanted to use up the flannel I had collected...I still have a few pieces for baby quilt backs but no more flannel quilts for me!! cough cough, sneeze sneeze!!

I use the same weight thread in the top and bobbin for quilting. The tension works better. There is no quilt police but I was told not to have a heavier thread in the bobbin that you have on top. But it is OK to have a lighter weight in the bobbin (such Bottom Line from Superior) than what you are using on top but you may have to mess with the tension.

I always use the same thread in the bobbin that I do in the top, unless I'm trying to use up a bobbin. (Normally because I need to rethread it with another color & I'm out of empty bobbins!) I'm thread stupid though so I stick with the same weight for top and bobbin.
Geez, what I wouldn't give to take a class on thread and how to thread paint. Some of those professionals do amazing things, but I have a fear of thread. I know, sounds silly, but I just feel like a complete dunce when it comes to thread and how different types work with the tension.
