What Thread do youuse for Applique'
#1
I am looking for a good thread to us for my Applique'. I have been using Sulky silk but I am finding it hard to work with and it seems to show on my pieces. Any help with my problem would be great. :lol:

I use DMC cotton embroidery floss, have for over 30 years. I can match my color closely, it's washable, and goes a long way. (One strand) I find it doesn't knot, glides smoothly through the fabric.
Only suggestion is to prewash the dark colors, they can bleed. I usually soak the whole hank in the sink with a little soap, rinse and let dry.

yes, and also available is the bobbin holder with all different colors of Masterpiece thread from Superior Threads. I love the Kimo (sp:) silk, just disappears into the fabric.
Aurfil is good also, on the expense side, I used it before discovering the silk thread. Had 2 friends we would buy the collections and wind bobbins and split the cost.
