I've used it, it will do. Fact is just: it is not so shiny and yes you do have to clean the machine more often, but you can use it. hugs* G

Go ahead and buy. It gives your FSL an antique/vintage look

yes you can use the cotton thread. i am making a pineapple doily and I had asked the same thing.Shirlene
told me to use a #14 needle since I was using 30 wt thread. i am about half done with my doily and it looks alot like the ones I made by hand. I use 2 layers of vilene. So far I am really pleased with how it looks.I clean my machine after stitching out part of it.

Yes I've used it several times making the fsl doilys, most people will think you sat for hours doing hand crochet. Yes, you;re right about the lint only draw back I found.

I have been sayed that cotton thread was better for cross stitch, but I have never used it because of cleaning the machine after!!!

I have used it with no problems-mostly for quilting designs and embossed designs on towels.

Good idea!

Good question-Is it specifically for emb machines? I didn't know you could buy 100% cotton.
