I love Aurifil in the bobbin (50 weight) because I feel like it fills up more than what I used to use. You definitely have to use what works best for you! I'm glad I could help!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17179681581545359529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-20026124249505257882016-12-02T08:11:47.495-05:002016-12-02T08:11:47.495-05:00That's great, Claudia!

My Bernina Burnett 66 loves it. I usually use it in the bobbin as well. The only complaint I have about that is that the bobbin won't hold has much of the thicker thread so you run out faster. I like using 50 wt in the bobbin, I need to get more colors! Btw, my machine doesn't like Aurifil 50 wt so I use Guttermann. I don't like Aurifil 50 wt for hand stitching either, it's too curly. 😂 Love this post - great info and very helpful.

I never thought of changing the weight of the thread when machine quilting. Have only done my own quilting on smaller projects but will be "graduating" fearlessly (cough, cough) to larger quilts. I usually keep a long-arm friend busy. So much good / great information. Thank you again for sharing.

Or do you use the same stitch length you normally do? Great tutorial.

It's called "bobbin work" and it worked beautifully for me. I 100% agree that taking the time to practice and dial in settings is worth it, and being open to trying all kinds of things - like the thick thread in the bobbin - is important.Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017288345711987555.post-38537136510477546582016-11-30T08:58:15.585-05:002016-11-30T08:58:15.585-05:00Amazing post Jessica!
