Help, Please ... Re; Hand quilting thread
#1
I've been hand quilting (mostly on the same quilt) for over a decade using off-white hand quilting thread. I am now starting to hand quilt a design in each of the 100 blocks of another quilt. I want to use red thread, but the thread I am using is #50 ... machine quilting thread ... and I'm not at all happy with it. I have half of the first block done and need to quit using it now if it's going to be a waste of my time and effort.
Does anyone know if there's somewhere I can purchase proper hand quilting thread in a variety of colors?

When I started hand quilting I had a problem getting colored thread. I used embroidrey floss (you know the 6 thread skeins). I used 3 strands and 20 years later the quilting is still the same.

Most Fabric stores have colors, JoAnns, Hancocks, Beverlys.
The best colors are made by Gutermann, they carry it at JoAnns, I have red, hot pink, blue, etc. It is quilting thread, although I prefer Coats and Clarks quilting thread, but you will get more colors in Gutermann.
