I have been reading Gina Perkes book "Mastering the Art of Longarm Quilting" during my tea breaks from my Grandson.
Great book and in chapter devoted to "Gotta Love Thread" she state that it is not necessary to match top and bobbin threads. I haven't been for quite a while so it is good to have this confirmed.
She then goes on to say that she likes Light Grey, Medium Gray, off-white, tan, medium brown, taupe and black as her bobbin colours. "These colors accommodate and blend nicely with just about any color".
Further on she says that she uses a fantastic product called Magna-glide bobbins.
So off I went to "the shop"
Magna Glide Classics L size 132yds of 60 wt polyester threads
Light Grey
Lead Grey
Cream
Light Tan
Black
Maybe I need to ask Filtec to look at getting a Taupe and Medium Brown colour in Classics as well.
Is a Longarm Machine Quilting Service for the Busy Quilter based in South East Queensland, Australia. I enjoy creatively quilting designs to enhance the piecing and fabric within a quilt. I have been piecing quilt tops since 2001, machine quilting them since 2004 and a longarm quilter since 2008. I have recently been recognised with numerous Quilt Show awards, both nationally and internationally, for both my piecing and quilting.
