Superior Threads Bottom Line 60-weight 2-ply Polyester Thread Cone — Bright Red #627, 2743 m, Low-Lint Bobbin/Quilting

This high-yardage cone from Superior Threads supplies 3,000 yards of Bottom Line, a near-invisible 60-weight thread built from two plies of 100% polyester. Designed to work as a reliable bobbin thread and a discreet top thread for detailed stitching, it gives consistent tension, minimal lint, and excellent colour blending for patchwork, micro-stippling, and fine applique. The bright red #627 shade delivers vibrant colour where you want it and subtle backing where you don't.

How does Bottom Line 60-weight improve my bobbin performance?

Because Bottom Line is lightweight and made of two finely spun polyester plies, it lays smoothly in the bobbin without building up lint or bulk. Machines run cleaner and longer between maintenance; stitches remain even across varying fabric layers.

• 3,000 yards per cone reduces frequent bobbin refills.
• 60-weight fine gauge prevents puckering on delicate seams.
• Low-lint polyester composition keeps bobbin cases cleaner.
• Consistent ply twist promotes uniform stitch tension.

Can I use this thread for applique, quilting, and micro-stippling?

Yes — the thin profile and blending capability make it ideal for both visible and nearly invisible stitching. For applique and binding it minimizes outline visibility; for quilting and micro-stippling it offers smooth passes and precise texture without overwhelming the design.

• Near-invisible look for fine applique edges and bindings.
• Works well for dense quilting and micro-stippling stitches.
• Colour blending helps match or tone down seams and backing.
• Suitable for both hand-guided and computer-controlled motifs.

Will this thread run well in longarm and home sewing machines?

Bottom Line is formulated for dependable machine use, including longarm quilting systems and domestic sewing machines. Its balanced construction resists breakage under speed and heat while offering smooth feeding through tension assemblies and needles.

• Engineered for longarm quilting speeds and stability.
• Compatible with common needle sizes for 60-weight threads.
• Polished polyester finish reduces friction and snagging.
• Ideal as a bobbin or top thread depending on project needs.
