Finesse Quilting Thread is a durable, lightweight, 50 wt 3 ply, 100% polyester material much stronger than cotton. Finesse is the perfect choice for longarm, midarm, shortarm quilting, domestic sewing machines as well as other various sewing projects. Finesse thread is perfect for quilting; its strong, soft, and makes setting machine tension easy. This thread was designed to work perfectly with the Grace Q'nique quilting machines and is the perfect choice for any longarm, midarm, shortarm quilting, and domestic sewing machines, but thin enough to prevent adding bulk when piecing a quilt or any sewing project. Finesse 1100 yard mini-cones are the perfect balance between a thread spool and a thread cone. It is designed to serve the same purpose as a standard size cone, but Finesse threads can stack on each other to save space. Recommended needles to use with Grace Finesse Quilting thread are: Longarm Machines - 110/18 or 100/16; Domestic Machines - Topstitch 90/14
