Light-duty thread in cotton, nylon,
polyester or cotton wrapped
polyester.
Most threads sold are medium
size and suitable for these fabrics
and needle sizes. Use polyester
threads on synthetic materials
and cotton on natural woven
fabrics for best results. Always
use the same thread on top and
bottom.
Please Note:
- In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing fine fabrics, and thicker threads
are used for sewing heavy fabrics.
- Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will be used for actual
sewing.
- Use the same thread for needle and bobbin.
