Thread Review by Janice Pope

Ever wish your bobbin would hold more thread? When I found Superior’s Bottom Line, I thought it was a great idea, and loved the way it quilted. However, being a purist and loving to keep all my work 100% cotton, or at least 100% all natural threads, I couldn’t use Bottom Line (100% polyester) on anything I wanted to “last into the next generation.” When I found Superior Threads Masterpiece by Alex Anderson, I knew I had found a product I would love for a long time!
I have invested in several colors and love it! A bobbin will hold close to twice as much Masterpiece as a regular 50 weight thread, yet is strong enough for quilting. The secret is this: it is made of 2-ply long stable cotton. Combined with Superior’s King Tut as the top thread, I don’t break threads when quilting and that makes me very happy! I have also heard that some people like to piece with Masterpiece. The reason is that their blocks turn out the right size because their thread is not so thick! If you have not tried it for the bobbin for a machine quilting project, I would recommend it!
