With Silk-Finish Cotton 40 you are buying the right sewing thread for your patchwork and quilting projects. Because the high-quality, somewhat thicker thread made of 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton is ideal for creating beautiful decorative seams and embroidery patterns. Please make sure not to digitize the pattern too densely – then the result will turn out particularly well. A mercerization process during the thread production makes the sewing thread more tearproof, low-shrink and iron-proof. That is what makes it so fabulously versatile. Do not hesitate to use Silk-Finish Cotton 40 also for sewing. Cross-stitch patterns also turn out extremely well with this sewing thread.
