It retains moisture and will rot and leaving your with no quilt. I use standard Gutterman polyester thread, no need for havy duty stuff. All good sewing shops sell it.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments chaps.Shed Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578211960030517465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-49469078229131910002011-06-27T22:27:22.383+01:002011-06-27T22:27:22.383+01:00Wow that looks professional and very light . what...Wow that looks professional and very light . what stitch did you use , is it anything fancy? and do you have to get special thread as my wife says the thread she has is cotton?<br />I would love to have a go at a double one similar to the Ray Jardine one but with down.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603945367689510842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-40917210413394815722011-06-23T14:36:21.238+01:002011-06-23T14:36:21.238+01:00Great and inspiring work!

Your quilt looks very attractive though, I might have to try my hand at making one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-84351689326603040862011-06-23T04:16:21.521+01:002011-06-23T04:16:21.521+01:00Just what I needed!

I want to practice a bit more first and get some serious use from the kit to test it before it's released on the general public. <br /><br />David, again thanks for your comments. A synthetic quilt is on the cards, more weight but more versatile too.Shed Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578211960030517465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-6223406062788091382011-06-21T00:50:43.065+01:002011-06-21T00:50:43.065+01:00I agree with Martin, this looks damn fine.

I love the use of soldering iron - as someone who has spent many hours breathing solder and making cables, all I can say is watch the fumes!selfpoweredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10690224905896399570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-20078543066227474612011-06-20T23:35:48.968+01:002011-06-20T23:35:48.968+01:00What I like about your kit is it looks right as we...What I like about your kit is it looks right as well. What I mean is it does not look DIY but more like a quilt some firm made. You have some real skill in making kit. I reckon you could sell them and synthetic ones as well.

There's no difficult sewing and by the end of it you've sewn many yards of seams and become an expert. Taking time cutting out the material is a must and then just one stage at a time and it all falls into place. Give it a go!Shed Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578211960030517465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-4704183739972306712011-06-20T22:59:44.228+01:002011-06-20T22:59:44.228+01:00Very nice.

I'd like to try and myog a quilt like the MLD one, but having never myog'd anything it might be a bit ambitious..David Hinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106818690322665048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389645183685303771.post-84670920610979323352011-06-20T22:42:04.088+01:002011-06-20T22:42:04.088+01:00Very nice indeed!
