What thread to use????
I would like to hand applique a wall hanging and was wondering what thread would be the best for this. I did some hand applique many years ago and used a thread by Mettler 60/2. Don't even know if this is still available? Would love some tips on the threads everyone uses for this method. Thank you in advance.

I do a lot of applique and prefer the Mettler. If you don't find it local, I use www.roserushbrooke.com I ordered 8 spools and shipping was $2.60.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions on thread.
Hi "Tiggersmom"-yes we are practically neighbors. My husband and I go to Prescott alot and love that city. Do you have a special place you purchase silk thread?

I tried silk thread, and yes it does blend nicely, but I found it to be rather expensive.
I had a donut full of Bottom Line bobbins in assorted colors (Superior Threads) and tried it for applique. It blends as beautifully as the silk.
