Applique with Attitude Using Perle Cotton by Presencia
We are using perle cotton in our applique and we want you to join the fun! The stitches are fast and expressive and add a punch to your applique. You are going to love this! Click here to see the the perle cotton thread packs.
Size 16 is thicker than hand quilting thread. It is showy without being a show-off and it pulls through fabric well. One 10-gram ball of size 16 perle cotton has approximately 156 yards of thread.
Size 12 is thicker still. It is more visible from a distance but still pulls through the fabric without a fight. All colors are available in both weights. One 10-gram ball of size 12 perle cotton has approximately 136 yards of thread.
These are 10 gram balls.
Don't forget to order needles and a needle threader! Our favorite is at the bottom of this page.
The leaves in the photo are stitched with the size 16 perle cotton.
Works perfectly with size 12 or 16 perle cotton and the size 9 crewel needle.
