How do I choose the right sewing thread?

Choosing the right sewing thread depends on the job you intend to complete. For all-purpose sewing, opt for cotton thread that is easy to use and durable as it is made from natural fibers. If you are looking for embroidery thread, choose thread made from cotton perle for a neat shine. For synthetic fabrics, use sewing thread made of nylon or polyester.

What should I do if I can t find the exact right thread color?

If you don t have the exact color match for a fabric, opt for a thread that is a shade darker, instead of going for a lighter one that will stand out more.

Can I use the same thread for hand and machine sewing?

As a rule of thumb, you can use the same type of thread for both hand and machine sewing. However, it is a good idea to go for a heavy-duty thread for machine sewing.
