I recommend buying one of those assortment of bobbins of Bottom Line thread. It's a finer thread (60 wt) and sinks into the fabric just like silk does. There is PLENTY on the bobbin for applique. It's what I use for hand applique and it's absolutely wonderful. Some stores have them in the donuts, or you can purchase directly from Superior's website.
