It's polyester, not natural, which is a bummer. But it is super fine, it's called Invisi - something. It's just really really fine, but really strong, and that's what you want. If you use normal machine cotton, the stitches *will* show, no matter how good you are.
Although, having said that, I might be being a little bit fussy. I think applique might be something I end up specialising in, I really like the handwork and the finish.
