The alternatives

Other contenders

For denim, canvas and upholstery

The 30 wt Sulky cotton meets this weight filter and is intended for quilting, serging, embroidery and decorative projects; its listed uses do not establish suitability for every denim or upholstery job.5

For lightweight fabrics and delicate work

The 50 wt Cotton + Steel spool is the choice here for piecing, quilting and sewing; check the fabric and needle requirements for your project.1

For long projects without running dry

Cotton + Steel provides 603.504 metres per spool for piecing and quilting; choose the longer polyester monofilament spool when machine appliqué or quilting calls for that construction.1267
