I bought a roll of Ed Speers thread and I am very satisfied with it. I've made several projects and have plenty more. His service is quick and the price was right. I use the standard needle any quilter uses - nothing fancy and I rarely have a sewing hiccup.

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."

Bobbin Tension - A Personal Viewpoint
I followed everyone's advice and bought Guterman's from Quest Outfitters when I started making gear. Great stuff - no problems. Then I got some Gutermans from OWF because I was ordering fabric from them. Also great stuff, but not the same as the thread from Quest. It's heavier (and stronger). I had to do minor adjustments to thread tension, but it's working out fine.
Quest now offers "Standard Weight" and "Extra Strong Weight": http://www.questoutfitters.com/narro...ods.htm#THREAD
OWF shows "PG#403": http://www.owfinc.com/Hardware/Shardware/thread.asp
I haven't talked to people at Quest or OWF yet, but I'm wondering if "PG#403" is the same as "Extra Strong Weight". Probably so.
Got some needles, and some thread - i'm all set . . . well minus a new machine
Counselor, grab some cheap fabric for practice. Don't touch the sil till you can handle the machine.
good luck. we're rootin' fer ya!
Ambulo tua ambulo.
AND, start slowly with sil. Make a few stuff sacks before trying anything larger to "get the feel for the material".Originally Posted by gargoyle

PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.
Several days ago I placed an Order with SPEER.
I ordered a cone of their thread which is nylon...and more than a lifetime of use...
Ed was gracious enuf to go to the sewing machine and tell me what needle he uses...
UNIVERSAL 100/16
I ordered some of these so I have them when I use the nylon thread from SPEER
