| Does anyone know of a good place to buy this? I have heard that it is the best thing to use for tailor tacking. I haven't been able to find it locally. |

I saw it used on one of the sewing shows for tailor tacking darts and other points that need to be marked when sewing finer fabrics. It will not pull out of the fabric until you remove it. It's yellow and will not bleed onto your fabric. They said that it is called Chinese Cotton Tack Thread. |
