I use silk thread exclusively for hand applique, but never thought to use it for English paper piecing. Thanks for the idea. My favorite silk thread is Kimono by Superior. I like it even better than YLI's, although theirs is good, too. Don't bother with Clover brand. It frays a lot and is inferior to the other two.<br /><br />By the way, Superior sells color cards with real thread on them at cost. When I bought mine in 2010 the price was $3.00 and there were two cards. I find the cards very useful when deciding what color to buy for hand applique.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.com
