What
the Expert John Flynn Says About So Fine! #50:
Imagine a thread with the look and feel of cotton,
but without the lint"
Imagine a thread with the look and feel of cotton, but without
the lint. That is exactly what So Fine! #50 is -- an extra soft
#50/3-ply polyester thread that is etched in order to give it the
look and feel of cotton thread. With the look of cotton and the
strength of poly, this thread allows us to quilt without all the
lint and thread breaks we would get with a similar size cotton thread.
The range of colors blend beautifully into the fabric, showing off
your stitching. It was important to me to learn that Superior's
spools are designed to spin freely on the machine so there is no
friction or drag to interfere with the top thread tension. This
is a great thread that comes on 3,280 yd. cones and on 550 yd. machine-friendly
spools.
For machine basting, nothing works as well as Vanish-Extra
by Superior. (Carried here at Soft Expressions) Vanish-Extra
has enough strength to use in top and bobbin of your machine and
it still disappears like magic when moistened. I use Vanish-Extra
basting thread whenever I have a difficult machine quilting
design that requires scrolling on my frame or when I want to make
my hand quilting projects totally portable and need a basting job
that will eliminate the need for a frame of any kind.
The folks at Superior are always willing to listen to suggestions
and make every effort to satisfy quilters' needs at every level,
from individual artist to professional quilter.
