I learned at the class I took that silk disappears better than other threads for applique. Teacher was right! The only bad thing is that it slips out of the needle easier than cotton. Also the applique needles are so tiny, even with my glasses I had a hard time threading so I purchased a Clover threader that you put your needle in eye down and lay your thread in and push a lever down. It works! Otherwise, I would have been ripping my hair out trying to thread the needle constantly!
