Sewing Thread

Thread for sewing by hand or on the sewing machine is a basic essential for hobbies and creative projects. You can find many different types of thread that vary both in material, properties and not least colour.

It is important that you choose a thread that matches your particular fabric type and density. For instance, if you are going to sew leather by hand, you will need a strong and dense sewing thread, while sewing silk on the machine will require a thin and soft thread.

What type of thread should I use for the machine?

It is a good idea to choose 2 different types of sewing thread when working on a machine. You will need an underlocking and an overlocking thread. It can be more economical as well as practical to buy overlocking thread in the specially produced variants that come in larger rolls.

For sewing cotton fabric, silk, polyester, velvet, denim and tulle, polyester thread is will be the best choice. If you are sewing projects in leather or faux leather, it may be easiest to sew by hand. You may want to use a strong cotton sewing thread for these purposes.

Sewing threads made of polyester are the cheapest versions you can choose. Polyester thread is suitable for machine washing and you can choose between a sea of ​​beautiful colours.

Add overlocking thread to your sewing box

You are afforded more freedom in your work on the sewing machine when you use overlocking thread. It is a sewing thread for the sewing machine that is produced in larger rolls. With these large rolls, you avoid having to change the thread again and again and interrupt your sewing process.

If you are planning to sew pillows, blankets or clothes, make sure you have overlocking thread in colours that match your projects.

For everyday repairs of clothes and accessories, it can be good to use your overlocking thread.

Discover your favourites among polyester threads

Polyester thread is the classic and most versatile type of thread. You will find the thread in multiple variants and in lots of different colours.

Among the latest versions of polyester thread are the variants, where the thread changes in colours. You can choose your sewing accessories within several colour ranges. It can e.g. be a reddish version, where the thread alternates between warm red, pink and burnt orange. Or you can select the multi-edition, where all primary colours are represented. It is entirely up to you to decide what type of thread you want to use for your creative projects.

For decorating seams, both the multi-thread or the sewing thread with glitter might be the right choice. If you want to be able to repair your daughter's dress on vacation or the pillow at the beach house, then polyester thread and a pair of good sewing needles is a must-have in the suitcase.

Make jewellery, decorations and patchwork with cotton thread

The predominant reason for choosing cotton thread is the abrasion resistance. Cotton is more resistant compared to polyester, which is the material that the classic sewing threads are made of.

It is easier and more satisfying to use cotton thread when sewing by hand or when making jewellery.

For designing patchwork, you sew together several overlapping pieces of fabric that must be able to last for a long time. It can be for a beautiful blanket, decorative placemats or a decorative pillowcase.

No matter what type of patchwork project you are making, the result should be able to last a long time and have high abrasion resistance. This is ensured by using cotton thread that is slightly thicker than the polyester threads. You can sew more tightly when you do not have worry about your thread ripping.

Cotton thread does not fade and the sewing equipment can be washed in the machine.
