Is this thread pretty much for quilting only? There's some auctions on ebay and it's .50 wt. and the Art # is 1161. I have a box of the
28 spools 100 wt. I bought from Nancy's Notions and just love it and the Art # for these 28 spools is 1171. If I'm not going to be happy with the silk finish for everyday sewing I'll pass on these auctions.Wish I knew more about these and what to look for.
