I ordered a few spools to try. I've noticed a lot of thread brands are marketing 80wt and 100 wt thread now. I read in a quilt article somewhere that the process to make thin thread strong is now possible.

- Chrome resists heat.
- Chrome resists wear. That little needle takes a beating stitch by stitch and it gets hot.
- Chrome will stay cool longer with less stitch distortion.
- Chrome aids the thread to pass through the needle eye with less friction and less heat build-up.
- Chrome also allows the needle to pass through the fabric with less resistance.
Feature: Chrome plated. Slightly rounded point.
Fabric Use: Numerous — wovens and knits. A great general purpose needle.
While the first part sounds good, I'm not so sure about the rounded point and "great general purpose needle"
