Soft Touch is our 60 wt. cotton piecing thread designed for precision piecing, quilting, and sewing. Made from 100% Egyptian extra-long staple cotton, this fine (thin) thread provides smooth, reliable stitches with low lint. Soft Touch is mercerized for enhanced color and strength, and gassed for a low-lint finish. Quilters love it for precise piecing and as a bobbin thread for quilting and sewing. Each spool contains 1,000 yards of thread. Loosen the top tension to 3.0-4.0 and use a Topstitch #70/10 needle for optimal results.
