 Thread

We sell several varieties of thread so you can choose the right one for your project and your machine.  Not sure what to choose?  Read our Thread Theory article for more information.  Be sure to use the right needle for your machine.  Read our article on sewing machine needle types and recommendations for more details.

When using your thread on a machine, be sure to put the top part of the spool up.  This isn't always as obvious as you might think.  To determine which part of the spool is the top, hold the spool horizontally by the top and bottom.  Unroll about a foot of the thread.  If the thread hangs freely, you unrolled it from the top.  If it twists back on itself, you unrolled it from the bottom.
