  Threads

  For dressmaking, crafts, and curtain making it's recommended to use a high-quality polyester thread. Using high-quality thread we will receive proper finish and durability of seams. Choosing the right thread is crucial for a successful project, and it's all about matching the thread to the fabric and the project requirements. A thicker thread designed for denim or heavy fabrics would indeed be too bulky and likely to leave unsightly stitches on a piece of delicate silk fabric. Similarly, a thin thread designed for cotton or linen might not provide enough strength and durability for a heavier fabric like wool or velvet. By selecting the right thread weight, type, and material, you can ensure that your stitches are strong, smooth, and invisible, making your finished project look professional and polished.
