OKAY ON TO THE TIP OF THE WEEK. I WANTED TO FINISH THE THREAD POST I STARTED LAST WEEK.

THREAD FOR GENERAL SEWING.

For general sewing, use thread spun from cotton, polyester or a polyester/cotton blend. Specialty threads change as often as consumer tastes change.

Rayon thread: Designed for machine embroidery, it has shine to give the embroidered design a decorative effect. Rayon thread is perfect for rolled edges on your serger. Use it in the upper looper only.

Metallic thread: A man-made thread which is ideal for machine-embroidery or decorative serger finishes.

Basting thread: A lightly twisted thread used to hand- or machine-baste garments together. Easily broken, it’s typically made of cotton fiber and available in white. Try using basting thread for fitting garments prior to sewing.

Invisible thread: Great for blind hemming or when it is difficult to match colors. It’s typically made of a single strand of polyester and has no color. Because of the lack of color, it is difficult to see. Its one drawback is that it can be stiff and distort the fabric. I use invisible thread in my blind hemmer for hemming pants, draperies and other projects.

Buttonhole and carpet threads: Heavy duty and designed for heavy fabric where additional strength is desired. Often used for hand-sewing, it will work in the bobbin of most sewing machines and can give your sewing a decorative effect.

General purpose thread: A medium-weight thread made from cotton, silk, polyester or a blend of cotton and polyester.

MY THREAD POUCH.

PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO JOIN ME TOMORROW FOR MILITARY MONDAY. THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THE WEEK HERE ON TOPSTITCH.

THANKS FOR VISITING AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
