I want to use Bottom Line (fine polyester thread) in the bobbin and rayon t= hread on top to quilt a nap-sized hug quilt for a church member. We've al= l heard how poly thread can 'saw thru' cotton thread/fabric... most quilte= rs have opinions on the subject. ;-) And rayon thread is quite fragile c= ompared to cotton thread. Am I asking for trouble if I use the rayon/poly= combination for the quilting? The fabrics are all batiks, so fairly stou= t (if that makes any difference) with Warm & White for the batting.
Next- the sachings are three 1 in. finished strips with 9 patches for the c= ornerstones. I'd really like to quilt feathers in the sachings but I'm th= inking the feathers wouldn't be very effective in such a narrow space with = seams and the two different fabrics. Maybe I want someone to talk me out = of the idea??? LOL
I'll be pin basting while I await your opinions.
TIA
