The best threading for quilting is generally a cotton or polyester-cotton blend. Avoid cheaper polyester threads as they are more likely to break or snap over time. The weight of your thread depends on your fabric and pattern.
What kind of thread is best for quilting?
For most quilting on a home machine, a 40-weight cotton thread is an excellent choice. Because the 40 weight cotton thread is heavier than the finer 50 weight cotton thread, quilting stitches will show up more easily on the quilt.
What thread should I use for hand quilting?
Quilting thread needs to be very consistent in thickness, as it is hard work to stitch with an inferior quality thread that runs thick and thin down its length. We recommend 100% cotton thread for hand quilting, mercerised and made from long staple cotton fibres.
