Use for fine hand sewing, appliqué, cross stitch, and machine or hand sewing
Cross stitchers use it on finer count linens — it gives crisp definition so you can see every stitch, without railroading the thread into the linen, giving it a light, delicate appearance
It is recommended to use for text stitching in counted thread work as it gives the lettering more crisp definition

A favorite for fine hand embroidery and counted thread work
Does not add bulk to seams — silk thread compresses when ironed, unlike cotton — a critical issue when working with fine points in piecing and machine appliqué
