All Purpose Sewing Thread
All purpose sewing thread is made of synthetic, cotton or
cotton covered polyester. This type of thread is used for most
sewing projects, including garments, home decor, and quilting.
Embroidery Thread
Embroidery thread is made from a variety of bers: rayon,
polyester, acrylic or metallic. These threads create a smooth
glossy appearance for embroidery and other decorative stitch-
ing.
Embroidery thread is not typically used in the bobbin unless
both sides of the project will be visible. It is recommended to
use all-purpose sewing thread in the bobbin instead.

dery, you may need to use a needle with a larger eye and lower
the embroidery speed.
Transparent Thread
Transparent thread, also called monolament thread, is a single
clear synthetic thread. It is used for quilting and other decora-
tive sewing. When winding a bobbin, wind at half speed and
ll the bobbin half full.
