I have a little plastic insert that fits halfway up, inside the thread cone, a do-jiggy, or perhaps you call it a thing-a-ma-bob, and the machine spindle fits inside the do-jiggy. Works for me!
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.

I tried a new thead for machine quilting
I've had this thread for some time, never having the "nerve" to try something new, but today I have a cute donation quilt and nothing else was the right color. I always use a King Tut, or another quality thread for MQ'ing - time to try this less expensive thread in this taupe color.
Wow - it quilts like buttah!!!! I LOVE it. Even the color was excellent for this quilt of many colors. I will order more from Connecting Threads. It did break 2 times, both times when going over multiple seams. Perhaps I should have slowed down.

LOL My previous post was about "try it, you might like it"! A joke on myself.

Connecting threads has great thread! I really love it too!
ReplyDeleteI have purchased from them in the past. What kind of thread? Poly-wrapped cotton? What color? I am full of questions tonight.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Did you use the Essential Pro above and below? I use their cotton thread for piecing and despite occasional breakage, I like it.
ReplyDeleteI love their thread and it's actually still affordable!
ReplyDeleteI use Essential Pro for most of my quilting and any I attribute any problems I have to either the sewing machine or needle - not the thread. Actually I haven't been having many problems lately at all! Thankfully!
ReplyDeleteMy mom's Handiquilter Sweet 16 loves the Connecting Threads thread. I have a virtual rainbow of all their regular spools too. I am glad to hear it worked for you!
ReplyDeleteI've used and love the regular CT Essential threads (really great colors!) but have never tried the Pro version. I do find the regular ones to be a little linty though -- definitely have to give the bobbin area a good clean out after a FMQ session. Do you find it's the same with the Pro cones? Also do you use the cones on your regular spool pin with an adapter or do you use a thread stand on the table?
