The Quilters Select Thread Tube of 5 - 80wt collection at Linda's Electric Quilters offers Quilters Select's ultra-fine 80-weight thread in convenient tubes of 5 coordinated spools. These sets provide exceptional value and a curated assortment of shades for quilters who rely on 80-weight thread for their most precise and detail-oriented work — from stitch-in-the-ditch to hand-look appliqué and micro-quilting.
What comes in a Quilters Select 80wt Tube of 5?
Each tube contains 5 spools of Quilters Select 80-weight thread in a harmonious color grouping. These curated assortments are selected to work together and provide the neutral, light, or tonal shades most frequently needed for fine detail quilting.
Is 80-weight thread the same as DecoBob or InvisaFil?
They are similar in application — all are ultra-fine threads for precision work — but are made from different fiber types and by different manufacturers. Quilters Select 80WT is a quality alternative with its own unique properties. Compare individual thread listings for fiber content and specific characteristics.
Can I use 80-weight thread for both the top and bobbin?
Yes — using 80-weight thread in both the needle and bobbin creates the most balanced tension for stitch-in-the-ditch and micro-quilting where both sides of the quilt need to look equally refined.
What is the yardage per spool in the 80wt tube sets?
Each individual spool in the tube set contains 2,500 yards of Quilters Select 80-weight thread — providing generous yardage for multiple projects before needing to restock.
