FAQ - All About Sewing Thread

What thread to use for sewing cotton?

For cotton fabrics, opt for a cotton sewing thread, which will offer good material compatibility and a natural hold to the seam. You can also use fine polyester if the fabric is slightly stretchy.

What is the difference between polyester thread and cotton thread?

Polyester thread is more resistant and slightly elastic, ideal for synthetic fabrics and stressed seams. Cotton thread is natural, less stretchable, and more suitable for materials like poplin, linen, or light voile.

What thread to choose for sewing jeans or thick fabric?

Use a special jeans thread, thicker and resistant to wear. It is designed for robust seams on denim, canvas, upholstery, or soft leather. Prefer a suitable needle type 90 or 100.

Can the same thread be used for everything?

A quality polyester thread can be suitable for most projects. However, for specific finishes, visible seams, or technical fabrics, it is recommended to choose a thread adapted to the use.

Are there special threads for sewing machines?

Yes, most threads sold today are machine compatible. Some foam or stretch threads are reserved for the bobbin or serger. Always check compatibility on the label.
