I bought 3 sets of Essential thread and only after I placed the order did I realize that maybe it was machine quilting thread and not something suitable for piecing. I don’t machine quilt!
• Satin Finish-Double Mercerized for a stronger, more lustrous finish
• 100% Egyptian cotton, the highest quality cotton available
• Extra long staple produces a smoother thread with less lint
• 1200 yards! Size 50/3
• Fits standard sewing machine spindles.
Is this totally wrong for piecing?

Thank goodness! I thought it was ok and then after I ordered it I re-read “quilting” thread and thought “oh no!” I got twenty-five 1200 yd spools, The Black & White set, Neutral set, and Vintage set.
I thought I was going to have to learn how to machine quilt!!! :P
