Threads
There are many threads on the market today developed for
different purposes.
All Purpose Sewing Thread
All purpose sewing thread is made of synthetic, cotton or
cotton covered polyester. This type of thread is used for
most sewing projects, including garments, home decor, and
quilting.
Embroidery Thread
Embroidery thread is made from a variety of fibers: rayon,
polyester, acrylic or metallic. These threads create a smooth
glossy appearance for embroidery and other decorative
stitching.
Embroidery thread is not typically used in the bobbin unless
both sides of the project will be seen. A light weight,
embroidery bobbin thread is often used in the bobbin instead.
The lighter weight thread does not build up under the
embroidery.
Note: When using a metallic or a flat film thread for embroidery, you
may need to use a needle with a larger eye and lower the embroidery
speed.
Transparent Thread
Transparent thread, also called monofilament thread, is a
single clear synthetic thread. It is used for quilting and other
decorative sewing. When winding a bobbin, wind at half
speed and fill the bobbin half full.
