Sewing Thread FAQ

How many types of sewing threads are there?

There are two main categories of thread; natural (such as cotton, wool or silk) and synthetic (such as polyester or nylon). However, these categories are broken down into dozens of various fabrics and types of thread, from poly-cotton to wool to waxed flax thread, all are made for a specific purpose and use. Different threads have different benefits in terms of durability, strength and aesthetic. Make sure you get the right thread for the job by contacting us today with any questions.


Can I use any thread for my sewing machine?

Cotton or all-purpose polyester thread can be used on most garments, however the typical rule of thumb is to use the same type of thread as the fabric. As different threads have different benefits, it is worth researching what is the best choice for the garment you are making. Navigate our subcategories to find the right one for your needs.
