Guterman Mara 70 or Mara 100, both high quality braided threads. No dust & super strong for size...
And if you want to buy locally, Gutermann Sew-All is typically available at Joann Fabrics.Originally Posted by sr1355
Thanks, again I'm learning so much from this forum
In the interest of full disclosure... Guttermans is an excellent brand but not the only one. As long as you are buying from a sewing center rather than a big box store you should be good.

If you haven't already bought the faric you can get it all from diygearsupply. Scott has a pretty good assortment of fabrics and thread for a great deal of projects!

+1... What he said. Fantastic people to deal with and great product. I have been using the sew-all guttermann from Joann and had success.
Enjoy life's journey, but leave no tracks...

Exactly...100% polyester of a good quality will do the job.
My only reason for recommending specific Gutermann threads, is that they are a known quantity to me, and I don't have to explain not to buy cheap thread or thread that is too heavy for most home sewing machines.
