I use Aurifil Mako 50/2 for piecing, it costs around $9 per spool but lasts forever. I bought my last one 5 months ago and it seems I wound hundreds of bobbins before it finally ran out. It's also harder to find locally. I also buy Mettler, Sulky and Guttermann threads on sale at Joann's but you don't get much thread on them and I hate to run out in the middle of a project!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18331732432479030135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441245906503131996.post-52228104802467302492011-02-18T21:08:31.742-05:002011-02-18T21:08:31.742-05:00I've used rayon, very potent. The types I'...I've used rayon, very potent. The types I've used do not hold up as well in the machine for some reason or another. I always need to reduce the tension.<br /><br />I do prefer cotton thread, aurifil, both on top and in the bobbin for piecing. Right now, I do have a Gutterman poly for the color. When thread painting or FMQ, I try out other threads unless it's a piece I plan to abuse.<br /><br />About a MQG, you are always welcome to visit ours. I also remember W-S had a lot of interested quilters over there. I'm surprised one hasn't started up.Jenny Squawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125094455415187483noreply@blogger.com
