The Quilters Select Thread 2500 YD 60WT collection at Linda's Electric Quilters features Quilters Select's premium 60-weight, 2-ply thread in generous 2,500-yard spools. This fine, high-strength thread is designed for precision quilting applications including stitch-in-the-ditch, micro-stippling, and detailed free-motion work where an ultra-fine thread is essential for the best visual results.
What is 60-weight thread best used for?
60-weight thread is ideal for stitch-in-the-ditch quilting, fine detail work, micro-stippling, and any application where you want the thread to nearly disappear into the fabric. It is also excellent as a bobbin thread paired with heavier top threads.
Is 60-weight thread suitable for longarm machines?
Yes — 60-weight thread works well in both longarm and domestic machines. It requires careful tension adjustment since its fine diameter behaves differently than standard 40-weight thread. Test on a sample before quilting your project.
How does 2500 yards of thread compare to other spool sizes?
At 2,500 yards, these spools provide substantially more thread than standard domestic spools, reducing how often you need to change thread mid-project. This makes them cost-effective for regular quilters who use 60-weight thread frequently.
What colors are available in the 60WT Quilters Select thread?
Quilters Select 60WT thread is available in a range of colors from classic neutrals and whites to coordinating quilting shades. Browse the collection to find the perfect match for your current project.
