Thread
We are pretty particular about the thread we use for our hand applique. We always use 100% cotton thread when sewing cotton fabric. Of the threads available on the market today, we use Masterpiece by Superior for hand applique and for much of our machine quilting. We are happy to make this thread available to you.

Important tip: Do you know that the end of the thread that gets knotted is important? It's because thread has a twist. As you stitch, your fingers add a subtle twist to the needle that is transferred to the thread. You do not want to be un-twisting the thread.
When threading your needle from the manufacturer's spool (if you are right-handed), the end with the freshest cut is the end that gets the knot. Lefthanders - knot the other end.
The Frostings bobbin sets have been wound by the manufacturer. Treat them the same way that you would a spool. However, if you wind your own bobbins you will knot the oppositie end of the thread.
If you loose track of this information when you are sewing, just remember that if you are having trouble with your thread, try knotting the opposite end.
Bobbin Sets for Applique!
Applique thread wound onto bobbins is wonderful! Bobbins are small and lightweight which makes it easy to carry many colors with you.
We worked with the fine people at Superior to choose the 36 best colors for these bobbin sets. Each bobbin holds 85 yards of 100% cotton Masterpiece thread. This thread is great for applique!
Each set contains 12 different colors. The handy packs are perfect for applique on-the-go! You can keep each set as it comes, or mix and match colors to suit your project. Each of these colors is available on a larger spool which will make it easy to replace your favorite colors.
Replacement Bobbins
85 yards is a lot of thread but we know that eventually you will need to replace the bobbins that you use the most. Each replacement bobbin will be $.90
