I've succesfully used sylko cotton along with DMC Broder Machine 30. I
inherited a large boxful from my mother-in- law & it's been very useful when
I've wanted a coloured thread.

Subject: [lace] Thread comparison
In a sale I picked up some thread which hasn't been manufactured for a long
time, Sylko size 40 Mercerised cotton. It was originally made for sewing
and comes on 100 yard plastic spools. The colours I got were deep blue,
purple and cerise. I'm going to use them for lace to applique on a light
blue T shirt.
This thread is too old to be in the thread comparison book I own. Has
anyone
ever used it, and could give me some opinion as to how it compared with the
recommended thread for a pricking. Size isn't crucial for my use, I like
very open lace to use for applique, but a starting point to experiment with
would be handy.
