Are you thinking of taking up machine embroidery at home? Whatever brand of embroidery machine you use, you should make a point of using quality embroidery thread. Machine embroiderers need to understand the facts that are likely to cause problems with their thread and also know the differences between the various types of thread available.

One important factor to consider when choosing thread for your embroidery project is the weight of the thread. Thread thickness is measured by number: the thicker the thread, the lower the number. So if you want better fabric coverage in your embroidery design, choose a lower number thread. Bear in mind also that different fibers measuring the same weight can actually be a different thickness. Rayon thread appears finer than cotton or polyester thread of the same count.

There are five types of thread commonly used for machine embroidery.

Rayon

Rayon embroidery thread is extremely popular because it is readily available and produces a lovely sheen. Because of its strength, it holds up well to the high speed embroidery stitching process. Rayon machine embroidery thread comes in a huge variety of colors, including twist colors and variegated thread.

Polyester

Polyester embroidery thread is also extremely popular because it is a little cheaper than rayon and also comes in a wide range of colors. Being synthetic, polyester thread is colorfast and more hard wearing than rayon. It's a great choice for embroidering children's clothing and work-wear that is likely to be machine washed on a regular basis.

Metallic Thread

Metallic embroidery thread is a fun choice to add a glittery accent to any embroidered design. Metallic thread also comes in a wide variety of colors. Hologram thread which is similar, is a terrific way to add sparkle and dimension to your embroidery design. You may need to experiment with different threads to see what works best on your particular machine, but you'll find it worth the effort.

Cotton

Cotton of course has been used on sewing machines for much longer than any of the above. Cotton is popular for its quality when it comes to embroidery stitching performance. It also comes in the greatest range of thicknesses - from 30 weight right up to 120 weight, which is used for heirloom sewing. Heavier weight cotton is popular because of its good fabric coverage in embroidery designs.

Silk

The fifth type of thread is silk - the most noble of threads and the best one to use if you are up to embroidering on luxurious fabrics such as silk itself. Silk thread is strong and smooth, so is less likely to break than other threads. However it is harder to find and of course is more expensive. Yet, it may well be just the right thread for that extra special project.

Now that you are aware of the different types of threads, it's important to make the most of them by avoiding thread issues with the embroidery machine itself. We often hear of people having problems with their thread tension when they first start with a new embroidery machine. As well as using the right thread for the task, here are a few tips to help prevent any tension problems from occurring.

The Thread Itself

Firstly make sure that you don't use your normal sewing thread for embroidery projects. The result will not turn out anything like it should and in fact, sewing thread can actually harm your embroidery machine.
