I have just started using this thread to do some applique using 60/2 embroidery thread in the bobbin and a size 8 needle and loosening the upper tension. I am so impressed, it looks like hand applique. At first I had trouble with the bobbin thread showing on the zigzag stitch until I switched to the smaller needle. The brand I had in the house was Sew Art International. I'll have to try the Superior brand in the future. This thread was timely because I haven't ironed it yet, do you think I have to use a lower setting in my iron? So far it doesn't feel stiff, rough, or prickly. Since my stitches are so close together I don't secure or tie the ends, just sew over the beginning for a quarter in or so.
