For best results, it is recommended to use a 100/16 or 90/14 Topstitch Needle (40wt in the bobbin) or a 4.5 Longarm Needle (28wt in the bobbin) with this thread. When using it with a machine, pairing it with a much thinner thread in the bobbin is advisable, such as Aurifil’s 40wt. For longarm machines, quilt slowly with a longer stitch length and use silicone conditioner as needed.
