Yes, it is machine washable, but it is recommended to use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh bleaching agents to preserve the silk-like finish.
While it can be used for decorative quilting, it is generally recommended to use a standard cotton thread for the structural piecing of quilt blocks.
A size 75/11 or 80/12 embroidery needle is generally the best choice for the No 40 thread weight.
Yes, it is designed for embroidery and exhibits good colorfastness under standard washing conditions.
This specific spool contains 200 metres of thread.
Reduce your machine top tension and ensure you are using a sharp embroidery needle rather than a general-purpose needle.
Check that the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool holder and verify that your bobbin is correctly wound and seated.
For optimal results, use a sharp, fresh embroidery needle (size 75/11 or 80/12 is recommended) to prevent the thread from snagging. Always test the thread tension on a scrap piece of fabric identical to your final project. Because viscose is sensitive to extreme heat, iron finished projects on a low temperature setting and avoid direct prolonged exposure to intense sunlight to maintain color vibrancy. Store the thread in a dry, dark place to protect the fibers from dust and potential degradation.
