What it is: Presencia Hilo de Coser (ART37.60) is a mercerized 3-ply cotton sewing thread, supplied on a 100m spool in a 60/3 weight. It is made by Presencia Hilaturas in Valencia, Spain, in continuous production since 1930. The 60/3 is the finest sewing weight, prized for quilting and patchwork where a slim thread gives an almost invisible join between pieces. The thread is mercerized for strength and a soft sheen, and is colorfast and shrinkfast so seams stay neat and the colour holds wash after wash.
How it is used and use cases: As the finest weight, the 60 is perfect for quilt piecing to achieve an exact quarter-inch seam allowance, invisible appliqué, patchwork and English paper piecing, and delicate seams on fine fabrics. It is ideal wherever the stitching should disappear into the work, giving flat, low-bulk seams that press neatly.
Who uses it: It is chosen by quilters and patchworkers who need fine, invisible piecing; by appliqué and English paper piecing enthusiasts; by dressmakers working with delicate and fine fabrics; by haberdashers and sewing shops stocking a quality fine cotton thread; and by sewing students and workshops who want precise, colorfast seams.
Why choose it: Presencia sewing thread is spun and mercerized in the company's own Valencia facility in smaller controlled batches, with the same craftsmanship behind its needlework threads. The mercerized finish gives strength and a soft sheen, while colorfast and shrinkfast dyeing and lot-to-lot consistency since 1930 mean seams stay true and do not pucker or fade. It is a quality cotton sewing thread for makers with higher standards, chosen by those who want a finished piece that outlives the pattern.
