Taking A Look At The Different Types Of Threads

If you own a cloth, embroidery or any other business that requires you to use sewing threads you need to use the highest quality of threads for you to get ideal results. There are many types of threads in the market that you can go for. The most common being:

Cotton thread

It's probably the most common unit used in sewing delicate fabrics. It's also heavily used in lingerie sewing companies. These threads come in different categories including: all purpose, cotton, perle, stranded, tatting, flower, quilting, and coton a broder. The different categories are ideal for different types of fabrics. To avoid damaging the fabric, always use the right thread for the right fabric.

Polyester

It's said to be a true all-purpose thread and a great choice for both machine and hand-sewn projects. Its main feature is the wax or silicone finish that allows it to easily slip through the fabric that you are sewing. There are two main categories of these threads: all-purpose and invisible. You use the all purpose in sewing almost all types of fabrics. While you can use it in almost all of your projects, experts recommend that you avoid it in embroidery projects. The invisible thread resembles the fishing line. It's strong and invisible thus ideal when you want to sew a large area of fabric while keeping the thread hidden.

Wool

It's ideal when you are sewing heavy fabrics such as blankets, canvas or wool. There are many categories of wool that you can go for: Persian, tapestry and crewel wool. You only need to choose the one that is ideal for your needs.

Metallic thread

This is a unique, tough type of thread that you use in sewing handbags. It comes in different varieties including: gold, silver, and copper. It's also used in the making of car seats. While there are many types of these units, two are the most common: purl and Japan.

Leather threads

From their name, these are units that are made from leather. Due to their tough nature they are used in sewing handbags, leather seats, and other tough fabrics.
