Mettler fine embroidery thread 60/2
Looking for a bobbin thread to work with YLI #100 silk thread? Diane Gaudynski recommends using Mettler 60/2 embroidery thread; the cotton 'grabs' the silk thread so it doesn't slip. Of course, there is the added benefit of making your cone of silk thread last longer if you use this thread in the bobbin! There are 875 yards on each spool.
Next to each spool there is information on which coloured YLI #100 silk thread cone it matches.
Members of my quilting guild say they really like this Mettler embroidery thread for hand piecing. I tried it and agree, it makes for a less bulky seam.

If you want a neutral selection of hand piecing thread to cover most fabric colours I suggest you get the collection featured below, then you can take advantage of my special price of $38.00. That's a savings of $5.40 - you can buy a spool of YLI #100 silk thread with the difference!
