This is a piecing question to sew blocks..What needle do you use for silk thread for the top and what thread do you use for bobbin since Bottom Line as it is no longer manufactured? Thank you

Hello, I am checking on the needle and Philippa said "Wonderfill make a thread called decobob, which is an 80 weight bobbin thread. I don't like it as much as bottom line because I find I have to mess with my tension more because it is finer. Alternatively, Gutterman make a fine polyester thread so that's worth a try. If I'm making a special piece I would use the kimono silk top and bottom but that is an expensive option." I hope this helps!

I prefer to use a 60 universal needle with my Bernina 570QE when sewing/piecing light weight cotton. It gives me better results then a microtex needle.
