Efina was developed for hand appliqué. It is a 60wt 2-ply 100% Egyptian Cotton, made exclusively from the highest calibre extra-long staple Egyptian Cotton. Efina is strong thread that is uniform in diameter (no lumps or bumps). It has a visible twist, but that's OK. It's perfect for English paper piecing and is a wonderful option for hand appliqué. You may also like it for hand piecing.

Efina is a little thinner than Superior's Masterpiece, and I really like working with it. Efina now comes in bobbins, which I love, but the bobbins don't come in all of the colors shown here. Like me, you may need some of both.
