The thread is stiffened with something and feels like wire when you unfurl it and thread the needle, then gets soft like regular thread as you quilt. It's almost like it's been spray-starched. Tangles less, too. In any event, it is so much easier to thread needles with it than any other thread. Gutermann hand quilting thread is available at JoAnn Fabric store, so I know it's around. I just love it. One tip working with it: don't wet the thread with saliva before trying to thread the needle; this takes away the starch. Just go from spool to needle. It's great!Lisa Boyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456582868505590514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709593576307112526.post-89108906785721035362015-09-10T06:49:26.990-07:002015-09-10T06:49:26.990-07:00Thanks for the tip about the needles Joan.
