Can this thread be used for hand embroidery?

While designed primarily for machine embroidery, it can potentially be used for hand embroidery, though its trilobal structure is optimized for machine stitching.

How does the trilobal structure affect the thread?

The trilobal structure reflects light in multiple directions, giving the thread a brilliant shine and a luminous appearance in your embroidery.

Yes, it is suitable for all materials and is washable up to 60 degrees Celsius, making it a durable and safe choice for children's garments.

How should I store this embroidery thread?

Store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and integrity.

What does '40' mean in the product name?

The '40' typically refers to the thread's weight or thickness, indicating it is a medium-weight thread suitable for a wide range of embroidery applications.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking frequently

Check that you are using the recommended needle size (70-90). Ensure the machine is correctly threaded and that the tension is properly adjusted. Clean your machine's thread path of any lint or debris.

Skipped stitches

Verify the correct needle type and size are being used. Ensure the needle is not bent or dull. Check machine tension settings and clean the bobbin area.

Excessive lint

Clean the machine's thread guides, tension discs, and bobbin case. Ensure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool.

Embroidery looks dull

Ensure the correct side of the thread is facing outwards if there's a directional sheen. Check that the machine's tension isn't too tight, which can flatten the thread.
