It is a bit of a fallacy among DIYers with regards to avoiding any thread with cotton in it. Corespun polyester/cotton (polyester core with cotton covering) of a high quality is also a good choice and preferred by some manufacturers and DIYers depending on the application. Its certainly used by some well known manufacturers for backpacks and canvas swags and tents over here in Australia, and is a great choice for use in down quilts as well. It is also fine to use in tarps and hammocks.
It's younger than i thought! 1964 Singer Featherweight.
