They create a well-defined line of machine stitches Term mercerized is often used with this type of

thread

100 Percent Silk

Often chosen for its gorgeous sheen

most trouble-free threads to use for machine quilting Strong and durable

Do not stretch, and is similar to polyester thread in that respect.

Wool and Acrylic

Metallic Thread

Core wrapped with a metal foil which may be

coated with silver alloy, and color is added to this foil with a polyester film which may also be

applied as an undercoating

Metallic thread is one of the most durable

available on the market

Bobbin

Lightweight

Very thin thread

Most common bobbin threads are cotton, spun poly, cotton-wrapped poly, and filament poly

CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Filament thread means that Z twist is applied to the thread after right twist (S twist) is applied to

the filament i.e spun by melting and doubling of 2 to 3 filaments is performed

Spun thread means(Z twist) (second twist) is

applied to the staple (shortfiber)after doubling (first twist) of right twisted single yarn and

doubling of 2 to 3 yarns is performed

Wooly thread is a thread that doubling of these

two yarns is performed and the twist is applied

This thread is called filament expansion processed thread

Monofilament thread is just the same as long

fiber that is spun

by melting and a long yarn without twist

In addition to sewing thread, this thread is used for

fishing thread or the like
