It has quite a sheen to it, but I haven't had any problems with that making it more visible. It comes in quite a few colours, I pick one that matches the fabric not necessarily the colour but the darkness of the thread. So deep purple fabrics I'll use the brown or black thread, because it's darker. |
Has anyone used silk thread for applique??

I haven't done much applique...but when I took a class for a sampler quilt the instructor told us to use silk thread for the hand applique. :)

thank you for making it easy for me to do this.

I'm putting my sister who is just learning to quilt onto this site, she is too far for me to help on a day to day but she will love all the help you guys give.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! :-D :-D |

I also use silk thread for applique.

Great tutorial, I use the 'Perfect Circles' by Karen kay Buckley, they are made out of the no melt mylar and can be reused over and over again, I also recommend them to eliminate any points as you gather the fabric to form your circles....

Fantastic idea!!! Thank you for posting.
