Sewing Thread - 200 Metres - each

This thread is specifically designed and optimized for *hand* quilting. While it might be used in a machine on a very low tension setting for specific effects, it is not recommended as a primary machine quilting thread due to its waxy coating and fineness.

The waxy coating helps the thread to slide more easily through fabric layers, reduces friction, and prevents the thread from twisting or curling as you sew. This results in smoother stitches and less frustration.

The thread is described as 'super strong whilst remaining very fine'. It is thinner than standard sewing thread, making it ideal for detailed quilting where you want the stitches to complement, not dominate, the fabric design.

While strong, it's specifically engineered for quilting. For general garment sewing or heavier fabrics, a different type of thread might be more suitable. However, it can be used for fine detail work or repairs on lighter fabrics.

The longevity depends on the size of your quilting project and stitch density. A 200-meter reel is substantial for hand quilting and typically sufficient for several smaller projects or significant portions of larger quilts.

The waxy coating is designed to adhere to the thread and aid in the quilting process. It is generally durable but may wear slightly over time with extensive handling or washing. It is not meant to be removed.

Ensure the needle is sharp and correctly sized. Check that the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool. Rethread the needle, ensuring an even tension.

Verify the needle is appropriate for fine thread and fabric. Inspect the needle for burrs. Ensure you are not pulling the thread too tightly, which can stress the fibers.

While the waxy coating aids glide, ensure no debris has accumulated on the thread. Sometimes, a slightly different needle type might offer better performance depending on the fabric.
