YLI Hand Quilting Thread

  My preferences for a particular thread come from my own experiences in using many of them. I don't especially like when threads break, unravel or knot.  I've learned to avoid metallics or cotton covered polyester, and many 100% cottons. Such cotton threads  are made from  lessor quality fibers,  have an inadequate twist or finish.

YLI Hand Quilting Thread has been my favorite since I began using it.  I love the colors and especially how it does not knot or break when I'm quilting.  Below is an excerpt from an article I wrote about threads. You can find the complete article by clicking on the NEQ Media Center box on the front page of  www.NancyEllenQuilts.com

"Glazed Finish is a process in which cotton threads are treated with starches and special chemicals under controlled heat and then polished to a high luster. The glazing process results in a thread with a hard finish that protects the thread from abrasion and enhances ply security. Hand quilting threads which are glazed allow for easy threading, almost no knotting and tangling and offer increased thread strength, with no breakage or fraying. YLI Hand Quilting Thread is a great example! "
