I was wondering if you are going to give suggestions of how to quilt the applique blocks as we go?
50 weight thread is the regular weight. The higher the number, the finer the thread. The lower the number, the thread gets thicker.
A friend gave me 2 meters of cotton batting, it says on the info sheet it has no scrim. Can I use this for the mystery quilt ?
Also mentions that it is tightly needlepunched.
I have a question about thread, if this is not the place to ask this question, I apologize. What do the weight numbers mean on thread? Is the lower the number the finer the thread? What is the weight number best for piecing? or quilting? or applique? I never used to think about thread as it relates to a number. Now that I am jumping in to serious quilting I want to use the proper weight of thread for the task.
