Silk #100

The Beauty of Silk Thread for Quilting

Our ultra-fine 100 wt. Silk thread Silk #100 is a quilter's dream. Made from 100% premium Japanese filament silk fibers, it's fine, has beautiful sheen, and stitches incredibly well. A smooth finish helps the thread glide through the fabric without puckering or bunching, ensuring your stitches remain balanced and even.

Appliqué and English Paper Piecing

Our Silk #100 is a popular choice for invisible appliqué. Its fine weight (100 wt. threads are among the finest and thinnest for machine quilting) helps each stitch blend effortlessly into the fabric. The focus remains on the appliqued design, without any obvious stitch lines, which is crucial in achieving a truly invisible appearance. Using English Paper Piecing, 100-weight silk creates tight and secure stitches that are flexible enough to bend and fold smoothly, minimizing distortion and ensuring precision.

Machine Quilting with Silk Thread

Machine quilting with silk is an absolute delight. It has an excellent combination of strength and refinement. Due to its fine texture, silk is ideal for micro-stippling and densely stitched designs that effectively highlight motifs and filigree. Additionally, Silk #100 makes an excellent thread for binding your quilt. Whether you’re binding by hand or machine, your binding stitches will appear nearly invisible, enhancing the elegant look of your quilt.

Silk Blends into Your Fabric

The ultra-fine weight of Silk #100 allows it to blend effortlessly into fabrics of every color and texture. This color-match quality keeps the focus on the quilt design rather than the stitching. Our Silk #100 thread is available in over fifty colors and wound on convenient 200-yard spools. Silk #100 provides the versatility and sophistication required for both traditional and modern quilting projects.
