Collection FAQs

What types of quilting threads are available?

Our collection includes a wide variety of quilting threads, such as 100% mercerised cotton, polyester, and cotton blends. You'll find threads suitable for both hand quilting and machine quilting, in various weights and a broad spectrum of colours to match any project.

Which thread is best for hand quilting?

For hand quilting, we recommend threads known for their smooth glide and durability, like 100% cotton quilting threads. These are less likely to fray and create neat stitches, making your hand quilting process more enjoyable and the final result beautiful.

Can I use these threads for machine quilting?

Absolutely. Our quilting threads are specifically chosen for their performance on sewing machines, including longarm machines. They offer excellent tensile strength and low lint, ensuring smooth stitching through multiple layers of fabric without causing damage to your machine.

What is the difference between quilting thread and regular sewing thread?

Quilting threads are generally stronger, smoother, and have less lint than standard sewing threads. They are designed to withstand the abrasion of machine quilting and the stress of multiple fabric layers, ensuring your quilt's durability and a cleaner finish.
