Me and my son are going to make a climashield xp 5oz Momentum 0.9 oz Quilt. 53 head40 foot78 to 80 length. This will be our first quilt to use and make. I have been reading I lot of old posts (untill my head spun around once or twice) and think I have a good idea of what we are getting ourselfs into. I plan on purchasing my material from thru-hiker.
Questions
Since I am making it longer than 72" I need to buy 3 yards of matetrials. So I thought I would buy 5 yards(180") of the momentum and use it as both the inner and outer fabric. Is this okay? Should I get the Taffeta or the rip stop.
If I use 2 different fabric I have to buy 3 yards of each. So the cost is a wash unless I just use the 1.1 oz Nylon Ripstop . Then it is only a 17 dollar differnce.
What thread should I use. Thruhiker has the Hydrophobe 100% Polyester Thread with Anti-Wicking Finish for 13.95 per cone.
My sewing machine is an old portable singer. It needs a little work but that will be part of the fun.
Thanks for any help.
