A fine(size A), strong thread for hand and machine sewing on silk and wool. Its fineness makes it ideal for basting all fabric types, as it does not leave holes from stitching or imprints after pressing. Because of its elasticity, silk is also suitable for sewing any type of knit. Recommended for tailoring because it can be molded along with the fabric in shaped areas. 1, record 6, English, - silk%20thread
