Why Choose Glazed Quilting Thread?
The glazed finish helps the thread move smoothly through multiple layers of fabric and batting. It also helps reduce friction, tangling, and knotting, making it especially useful for traditional hand quilting.
Helpful Quilting Tips
- Use shorter thread lengths when hand quilting to help reduce wear and tangling.
- Match your needle size to your fabric, batting, and preferred stitch size.
- Test the thread on a sample quilt sandwich before beginning your final project.
- For visible quilting, choose a contrasting thread color to highlight your stitches.
- Store thread away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture.
