Quilter`s love this thread because it flows like butter through a long-arm or domestic sewing machine with virtually no tension adjustments needed. Can be used top and bobbin for less frequent bobbin changes. Nearly invisible on bindings and stitching in the ditch. Perfect for heirloom sewing, nearly invisible hand or machine applique, wing-needle work, exquisite fine thread lace, trapunto and more. Won`t shrink, fray or break easily and looks and feels like silk...but stronger and less expensive!. 1650yd maxi-spool. 60wt.
