Thread (for sewing)

There's actually a "thread, thread" LOL It's a bit old but still useful.

I'll save you the 5 page read. . . Dual Duty XP (poly-wrapped poly) or Gutermann are the most commonly available and recommended. Don't buy the old-style Dual Duty, if you happen to find any still hanging around -- it's cotton-wrapped poly and very much NOT recommended.

For basting, I buy the cheapest white cotton thread as it just gets thrown away after removal. You may get some white fluff/shreds as you work with it, but those brush off pretty easily. You might be tempted to baste the R'lyeh in black thread to avoid that problem, but it is much easier if you can see your basting stitches in contrast to the fabric.

This is discussed in TAoK but I'm not sure if Barb had the opportunity to update re the Dual Duty/DD XP product change.

Have fun, ask plenty of questions, and good luck!

PS -- search the forum for Gutermann (and spelling variations e.g. guterman, gutterman) to find other discussions on topic.
