Presencia floss does not bleed ever. DMC floss some colors will bleed or rub off on the fabric. Everyone has some DMC floss laying around and it's used the most for hand embroidery but test the strong colors first to be sure there is no bleeding. I have used fine crochet thread for embroidery and I noticed some decorative quilting thread would be good embroidery thread but there isn't the selection like in floss colors.

The only thread that will not lint one teeny tiny piece of lint is silk thread. If you haven't tried machine quilting or handwork using silk then you have to try it. I won't use any other to hand appliqué. Connecting Threads has silk applique thread kit on sale. It's the best price I've seen in a long time.
