Superior Vanish is a premium water-soluble thread designed for temporary stitching that disappears completely when washed away. It allows you to secure layers, appliqué shapes and seams accurately during construction, then remove the thread cleanly once its purpose has been served.
Smooth and reliable to sew with, Vanish is suitable for both machine and hand stitching. It is beneficial for techniques where precision is essential, but permanent stitches are not required. When exposed to warm water, the thread dissolves completely, leaving no residue or stiffness in the fabric.
Vanish is available in two thread weights, allowing you to choose the most suitable option for your project.
Lite is finer and best suited to lightweight fabrics and detailed work where minimal bulk is important.
Extra is stronger and designed for quilting, layered sewing and heavier fabrics where greater holding power is required.

Advisory
Remove by soaking in warm water. Do not apply heat or steam before the thread has fully dissolved. Store in a dry place and avoid exposure to moisture before use.
