thread for kilts

[Barb T]

For button/carpet thread, I found 'heavy duty' gutterman thread at the fabric store. Will this be okay? I didn't see anything specifically marked as carpet/button thread.

This is what I buy: http://www.joann.com/coats-andamp-cl...hread&start=47

Also - the Coats and Clark Dual Duty XP, which came out a few years ago, is a vast improvement on their old dual duty. It doesn't shred and slub the way the old cotton stuff did. I have to say, though, that I don't use it. I find it a big springy for basting, and I just buy the cheapest 100% polyester that I can find on sale.
