Feeling lost when it comes to choosing machine embroidery thread? Well, don’t feel spoolish if you have a few questions. For instance, you may be wondering how embroidery machine thread differs from other types of embroidery thread, as well as regular sewing thread. Don’t worry, we’re here to help!
Can you use any thread for machine embroidery?
First things first: Machine embroidery thread is specifically made for use with embroidery machines, while hand embroidery thread is designed for use with - you guessed it - hand embroidery techniques.
While both hand embroidery thread & regular sewing threads can sometimes be used for machine embroidery, they don’t always produce the best results. Put simply, threads that have not been specifically created for machine embroidery usually aren’t strong enough to withstand the tension and stress required for machine embroidery projects. Not only that, using regular sewing thread for machine embroidery may result in more thread breakage, fraying, and knotting, which can slow down your embroidery process and lead to a less polished final product.
Machine embroidery thread is typically smoother and stronger than hand embroidery thread, allowing it to withstand the high-speed stitching process of embroidery machines. It's usually made from synthetic materials like polyester or rayon, which are strong and durable. Embroidery machine threads also have a higher sheen than other types of threads, which can make your embroidery design look more vibrant and professional.
Polyester Embroidery Thread
In the early 1940s, polyester thread came onto the scene and people were amazed at its strength and flexibility. A synthetic alternative to cotton, polyester is bright, smooth, and strong. It is also resistant to shrinkage and fading and leaves virtually no lint in your sewing machine. White there are many types of machine embroidery thread available, polyester embroidery thread is one of the best options for projects that need more strength and stretch.
There are many machine embroidery thread brands on the market these days, but we’re partial to our very own line of Missouri Star 40 wt polyester embroidery threads. Available in polyester machine embroidery thread sets or single spools, these threads are tailor-made for machine embroidery because of their unique structure: three filaments are plied together in multiple continuous strands, giving them greater strength and shine. Not only that, they can withstand the rigors of washing, high temperature ironing, detergents, and abrasives with ease. And did we mention that they are available in 71 vibrant colors, from white machine embroidery thread to every color of the rainbow?
So if you’re on the hunt for the best machine embroidery threads at great prices, we hope you’ll give ours a try. Watch the video below to learn even more about machine embroidery with Courtenay!
