Bobbin Thread for FMQ
What do you all like using for bobbin thread when doing FMQ? This time I
am using Masterpiece (because it was what the LQS had - they don't carry Bottom Line) with King Tut variegated on the top and I am finding it very linty. I have to delint every after 2 bobbins or I end up taking out quilting. Lizzy in Heywood, UK |

Bobbin Thread for FMQ
I use the same brand top and bottom, just vary the color. I use
Mettler, and buy it at the local cloth store (fabric shop). It is also carried by the LQS, but that is farther away On Sun, 22 Sep 2013 12:04:19 +0100, Lizzy Taylor wrote: What do you all like using for bobbin thread when doing FMQ?

Lizzy, I use Bottom Line or Sew Fine or Glide, but I'm using it on a longarm, and that may make a difference. I believe Masterpiece was designed for piecing, and it may not be strong enough (in addition to being linty!) to hold up to long-term use of a quilt. I often use Isacord thread for quilting, too, and when I do, I use it in the bobbin as well as on top. I like Bottom Line too and it works well for me, but I have to mail order it and this project had no waiting time in it! The Masterpiece was recommended to me by the LQS lady who uses it as her bobbin thread, but I don't think I'll be sticking with it myself. I am making steady progress and now I know how it is behaving I am able to take preventative action as required. Photos when it is all done!
