The So Fine! #50 Cones collection at Linda’s Electric Quilters features Superior Threads’ So Fine #50 thread in large cone format — ideal for longarm quilting machines and high-volume quilting studios. So Fine is a 50-weight, 3-ply polyester thread celebrated for its incredibly smooth texture, virtually zero lint, and the ability to create beautiful, soft-looking stitches that have the appearance of cotton without the lint issues.
Why do longarm quilters love So Fine cones?
So Fine’s 3-ply construction creates exceptionally strong stitches while the fine 50-weight diameter leaves minimal visual presence in the fabric. The large cone format provides thousands of yards before needing to change thread — essential for production longarm quilting.
What is the yardage on a So Fine #50 cone?
So Fine #50 cones are available in multiple sizes. The most common longarm cone sizes contain 3,000+ yards per cone. Check individual product listings for exact yardage information on each available cone size.
Is So Fine suitable for both domestic and longarm machines?
Yes — So Fine works beautifully in domestic sewing machines as well as longarm quilting systems. It is particularly valued in longarm applications because of its low lint and smooth feeding at high quilting speeds.
Does So Fine thread require any special machine adjustments?
So Fine generally runs with minimal machine adjustment needed. Its consistent quality and smooth construction allow it to feed evenly at standard tension settings in most machines. Fine-tune tension if needed based on your specific machine and fabric combination.
