Yes I was just wondering what type of thread everyone would recommend, is the best to use for stitching antron fleece?? any info or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I recommend quilters thread. It's stronger than normal sewing thread.

Make sure it is GOOD (not top) quality thread from a cloth shop, do not buy cheap thread it breaks to easily and all you do is get frustrated and give up.  As Jon said Quilt Thread is fine as well as any general cotton thread works just as fine....more colours to choose from in general cotton thread.

A couple other names for quilters thread are Hymark and button thread. I normally only use that in areas of high stress.  A mid range cotton thread should do fine for you. Gutermann thread is a high end thread that a lot of tailors use but not a necessity.  I tend to use what ever is at hand. More then likely if you buy your thread by the spool and not in package where they give you a bunch of small spools you'll have a decent thread. 

Something that can make hand sewing easier and strengthen your thread is bees wax. You run your thread through it to coat the strand. It comes in simple blocks or you can get it in fancy holders. It also helps to keep your thread from knotting when you hand sew, although I must have some funky twist motion to my hand sewing because even with it I tend to get knots.

Found this page on thread that may be of interest. http://www.quilt.com/Bernina/Thread101.html

Thanks for your input. Hey stiqman I watched your blog live on Monday, what an awesome job, do you think you could do one on making and covering legs and feet???

I use button/coat thread often. There are a few varieties but the ones I get generally say Heavy on it. But it's not nearly as thick as the upholstery thread. The problem I find with some of the really thick threads is that you need a larger needle and a larger needle = larger hole on the seam I'm sewing. For hidden stuff it's fine, but for a visible edge I try to stick with the thinnest possible. And if it's a spot that will take abuse step it up 1 size and hope I don't have to re-sew..

stiq acually did a hole video on thred check it out maby it will help

Thanks, but that was only 44 seconds long, and he did not talk about what kind of thread all he mentioned was about wax.

Lol that was the wax one! I have a video on Thread as well but it is not been uploaded on my Youtube as of yet hopefully soon.  I pretty much talk about the same thread that Shawn talked about with the cotton thread above.

BTW I will do a let one.....honestly I don't do legs very often they are very unnecessary for most puppets I make but I do get the odd situation (eg. Ventriloquists) however I will come up with something....they are pretty much the same as the arm/hand except you can just stuff the feet you don't need to add rods or wires.....but I will so a video down the road....I try to do them as I make a puppet so that I am not using up my materials for only examples.....thanks for asking....I will always be open to any suggestions people may have.

Yes is the thread good for hand stitching Antron Fleece??  Robison-Anton Cotton Quilting Thread
