All About Longarm Quilting Thread

#machinequilting #stitchedbysusan

I'm often asked about buying quilting thread, and what features I like to see in a thread, what makes it good, and not-so-good.

I'll discuss what makes the best thread, and suggest starter colors if you're just getting started with machine quilting.

Bonus - learn how I store my bobbins with their thread colors!

Color Numbers for the suggested colors:
- Eggshell
- Light Silver
- Mid Grey
- Charcoal
- Cream
1514 - Red
- Gold
- Caramel
- Sage Green
- Robin's Egg Blue
