Finally, Answers to Your Questions About Thread....Even the Questions You Didn't Know You Had!
In our recent Eavesdrop on a Telephone Conversation, President of Superior Threads, Bob Purcell, answered every question our Enquiring Quilting Minds wanted to know.
Bob had some shocking information - especially about polyester thread. Prior to hearing Bob, whenI saw polyester thread, I broke into a sweat and ran quickly away. After listening to him and hearing that many professional quilters use polyester thread, and have even won quilt shows with quilts that have polyester thread, I'll have to admit that my thoughts have changed.
And that's just one tiny piece of the information Bob shared with us. Below is just a sampling. There's tons of great thread information jam-packed into this call:

Did you Miss Out on Eavesdropping on the Telephone Conversation with Expert Machine Quilter, Pam Bauer?
Click below to hear a sample of what Eavesdropping Quilters heard from Pam:
If you are at all interested in machine quilting, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, the Eavesdrop Conversation with expert Machine Quilter, Pam Bauer has some great tips.
She shared her secrets about things like:
- How to set the top and bottom tensions on your sewing machine – you will know exactly how to prevent thread loops on both the top and bottom of your quilt, so folks will think you are a machine quilting expert (click here to listen to Pam's explanation, I couldn’t possibly do it justice here)
- How to handle the bulk of your quilt – roll it up, bunch it up, or accordion fold it – to make it easier for you and result in beautiful stitches (she scrunches)
- How fast to move your hands and fabric so your stitches are even and machine quilting the quilt doesn’t take a year and five days (Pam says that the quilt should move as fast as the needle moves)
- Where to start quilting – side, center or corner – and should you work your way across the quilt or can you pick and choose where you want to sew, and still have no puckers or tucks on your quilt (for beginners, Pam says to start on a side and work your way around the quilt and through the middle. That way, by the time you get to the middle you have some experience and are warmed up, and the bulk of the quilt is not such a challenge.)
- Practice squares – are they just for the trash, or will keeping them make my machine quilting more perfect (practice squares help get the tension on your machine right, get you warmed up with your quilting design, and you can save them for future design ideas)
…..and many, many more tips
