We love this stuff! 60-gauge 2-ply YLI 'Soft-Touch' thread, ideal as a bobbin thread for patchwork quilting with any top colour - although we use it for almost everything, top and bottom!
YLI Soft Touch is a low lint, 60/2 ply mercerized Egyptian cotton thread. It is strong but has a superb snap point. Introduced initially as a wonderful bobbin thread that balances easily against most upper threads, Soft Touch has quickly gained popularity as a great piecing thread and it is wonderful when used in hand and machine applique. It is also a great heirloom quilting thread and can be used for lace making and fine embroidery.
