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
If you are sewing something fine, this is your thread
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
For hand appliqué, Sharon prefers this thread as it is easy to use and disappears into the fabric
