For optimal results, consider the following needle recommendations:
100/16 or 90/14 Topstitch Needle (40wt in the bobbin)
4.5 Longarm Needle (28wt in the bobbin)
When using this 12wt thread by machine, it is advisable to use a much thinner thread in the bobbin, such as the 40wt. Quilting with a Longarm machine should be done slowly, using a longer stitch length and applying silicone conditioner where necessary.
This thread comes in a generous quantity of 325 meters, wound on a large red spool.
