Essence, once you sew it in, it vanishes away into your fabric. It’s great for blending into your valued fabrics and offers a “hand look” by machine when doing assorted quilting or appliqué. This sewing thread is perfect to use on top or in bobbin for decorative sewing methods in which you don’t want the thread showing. It also works great for machine beadwork, as well as both machine and freehand embroidery.
