This thread is best suited for most medium-weight fabrics, including cotton, linen blends, polyester, and poly-cotton blends. It is also suitable for lighter fabrics.
Can I use this thread for heavy-duty projects like upholstery?
While durable, this is a medium-weight polyester thread. For very heavy-duty projects such as thick upholstery or outdoor gear, a heavier-duty thread specifically designed for those applications might be more suitable.
How many meters of thread are on each spool?
Each spool contains 1000 meters of thread.
Is this thread suitable for hand sewing?
Yes, this thread is suitable for both hand sewing and machine sewing, including overlocking.
How should I care for the thread itself?
Store the thread spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its strength and prevent degradation.
What is the recommended washing temperature for items made with this thread?
The recommended washing temperature for items sewn with this thread is 40 degrees Celsius.
Does this thread come in a variety of colors?
This specific product listing (M044) refers to a particular color or type. Coats offers a range of colors within the Moon Sewing Thread line, so other options may be available under different product codes.
Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during machine sewing
Check needle sharpness and type (ensure it's appropriate for polyester thread and fabric). Adjust machine tension, or reduce sewing speed. Ensure the thread path is clear and the spool is winding smoothly.
Skipped stitches
Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Verify the machine is properly threaded. Check if the thread is appropriate for the fabric being used.
Thread tangling or knotting
Ensure correct threading of the machine, including the bobbin. Check that the upper tension is not too loose. Store thread properly to prevent premature tangles.
Uneven stitching
Adjust the stitch length and tension settings on your machine. Ensure the fabric is feeding evenly. Try a different needle if the current one is damaged.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This thread is designed for immediate use with standard sewing machines, sergers, and for hand sewing. Simply thread your machine or needle as you normally would. Ensure your machine's tension is set appropriately for a medium-weight polyester thread.
Compatibility: The Coats Moon Sewing Thread - M044 is compatible with most domestic and industrial sewing machines, overlockers, and is suitable for hand sewing. It works best with medium-weight fabrics such as cotton, linen blends, polyester, and poly-cotton blends. For very fine silks or heavy-duty materials like canvas, leather, or vinyl, a different thread weight or type may be more appropriate.
Care: To maintain the thread's integrity:
- Store spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Keep spools in their original packaging or a thread box to prevent dust accumulation and tangling.
- Recommended washing for finished items is at 40 degrees Celsius.
