Invisible thread....Wow!
Honestly..... Wow.... I Stiched in the Ditch (SiD), the whole of this quilt with no thread breaks at all, not one! I usually use S's monopoly on my longarm but unfortunately had quite a few thread breaks so I recently purchased this Aurifil invisible thread, it's advertised as 'no break thread'. It's a 15000 metre cone so not exactly cheap, I wasn't pleased when I still had thread breaks but I thought I'd give it another try on this quilt. Once I realise I didn't need any kind of thread net, not even the more open plastic ones, it was a breeze, I just hope that I can find that sweet spot with the tension again next time???

Your quilting is fantastic. I have a set of Red Snappers and love them. What type of longarm do you have?
ReplyDeleteWe are new to the use of a quilting frame and have discovered that getting the tension right is very important!!
ReplyDeleteI have red snappers too, and they are a great time saver.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried the Aurifil invisible though, I think that cone may last you a lifetime......
Thats interesting Kay - I didnt know Aurifil made an invisible thread... is it polyester or nylon? Look forward to seeing what you are/have been working on
ReplyDeleteI want to know what red snappers are!
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the thread. I think you should give us a review of your Red Snappers. Sounds like you like them!!
