KathyA Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Has anyone had any problems with Dream Poly Select? Tension/Thread issues.... I know it's a long shot but I remember reading somewhere that the select was causing some issues but it may have been the cotton version. not sure. Thanks a million.

Brenni Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I used Dream Poly on my very first real quilt with my Lenni and it worked just fine. I used SoFine top and bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belquilt Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Kathy, I use it all the time with different types of thread and have not had any problems. If you do find out something, please post it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliagraves Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I use Dream Poly Request all the time. It's terrific. The lightest weight, Select, isn't recommended for longarms, but only because it stretches a little. I've used it as well and not had any problems. You just need to be careful when you pull to flatten it - it will pooch out, and then you need to flatten it back down. Julia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I too use poly requrest and have never had any problems! It is my all time favorite. Dream Puff is just wonderful and I just did a quilt in Dream wool and the quilting definition is just wonderful! Select is very thin so make sure you tighten down the upper tension and a looser bobbin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gable428 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have tried the Quilters Dream Poly Request and really liked it a lot. Where is a good place to purchase it on a queen or king roll for a good price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Gable if you have a tax id number you can order direct from the company and there is no minimum order. If not see if your guild or LQS will order a roll for you. it is wonderful stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Gable, I cant tell where you live but if you have a business tax number you can buy it directly from Quilter's Dream here in Virginia Beach, VA. In addition, to all the ladies and gents Quilter's Dream usually has "seconds" "irregular" rolls that you can buy for almost nothing, you just need to ask if they have any.

Lsilver Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 The Quilter's Dream folks are the nicest in the business and their seconds, when they have them, are great. Like Connie, I am blessed enough to be able to drive 35 minutes to pick up whatever I need. I have never had anyone disatisfied with their products. Wonderful, affordable and the highest qulaity on the market. My Favorirte is the wool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I agree that the folks at Quilter's Dream are the greatest. So helpful and friendly. It is hard to keep their lofts straight though. I use mostly QD cotton (select and deluxe) and Puff but I do stock and have used the poly select. No problems with it. Excerpt from www.quiltersdreambatting.com REQUEST POLY Thinnest loft. Excellent for hand and machine quilting. Available in white and midnight black. SELECT POLY Midloft. Perfect for hand and machine quilting. Available in white and midnight black. DELUXE POLY Weighty loft. Wonderful for machine quilting. Soft and warm. Available in white. The first time I used it, I noticed that you can stretch it a bit when tugging. So I usually use the quilt top and the batting getting pulling to straighten using my forewarm rather than my hand. Using the fabric keeps from stretching the batt and I never use so much pressure that it would effect the quilt top. Of course, this will only work if you float your quilts, otherwise you quilt top is rolled up on a roller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I love Quilters Dream products. They have the best customer service. They are keepers. Grammie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gable428 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Unfortunately, I don't have a tax ID number, but will definitely call them about their seconds. My LQS only carries the Request and I want the Select. Thanks for the replies:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
