Threads

Threads are indispensable for neat sewing, decorative stitches and durable textile work. In our category you will discover sewing thread, overlock thread, quilting and embroidery thread as well as basting thread, wool, color cards and practical thread sets. The wide range makes it possible to choose the right thread for every project and every sewing technique.

What are the different threads suitable for?

• Sewing thread: For general sewing work on clothing, home textiles and accessories.
• Overlock thread: Ideal for serged edges, stretch seams and professional hems.
• Embroidery thread and machine embroidery: For detailed, long-lasting embroidery and decorative stitches.
• Hand embroidery: Finely coordinated threads for cross stitch, satin stitch and creative needlework.
• Wool: For knitting and crochet projects as well as decorative needlework.
• Basting thread and thread sets: Practical for temporary stitches and projects in the same color.

How do hobby sewers use threads correctly?

Good results start with the right combination of thread, needle and machine. Pay attention to the recommended needle size and adjust the thread tension, especially with fine or very thick threads. When overlocking, special overlock threads and a slightly different thread tension can deliver better results. When embroidering, it is worth using an additional stabilizer or embroidery hoop to keep the stitches clean and even. When quilting, a suitable quilting thread is important for visible sewing; matching bobbin thread and needle thread improves durability.

What makes a good thread?

Good threads are uniform in thickness, colorfast and as lint-free as possible. Color charts help you to match colors exactly, and yarn sets save time when planning projects. Basting thread is practical for temporary work because it is easy to remove. When buying, pay attention to storage marks and clean winding - this saves frustration when sewing.
