I love to applique on my quilts and also wanted to get into the more "Art Quilting"...they all suggest using silk thread. I have looked around ...perhaps not enough..do you know of where I can buy a "package combination of silk thread that doesn't cost an arm and leg? I would perfer that on a spool. I found some wraped around cardboard ( not for machine) at a good price..1/2 off..but like I said I'd prefer it on a spool.
