Mettler Silk-Finish cotton
Silk-Finish is Mettler's mercerized long-staple cotton, named for the sheen the mercerizing gives it. The 50-weight line is one of the most widely used piecing threads in quilting — fine enough that seams press flat, strong enough to last, and available in several hundred solid colors and in multi-color variegates. The 40 weight sits on the surface for machine quilting and topstitching; the 28 and 12 weights are for hand quilting, big-stitch and decorative machine work with a topstitch needle.
