Love this thread!09/07/2019 ByDoris Never thought of doing embroidery or cross stitch with this thread, but I want to say that I have done tatting with the 30wt thread and LOVE IT! It tats beautifully, about the same size as DMC Cordonnet Special #100. Colors are gorgeous and I get many complements on the pieces I have made with this thread. No one can believe that it's quilting thread! :-) Please don't let the "quilting thread" label stop you from trying this wonderful thread for other needlework and lace!
