Incredible Threadables

Posted by McKenzie on November 7, 2010 | No Comments

It’s a thread case, it’s a thread rack, it’s dozens of spools of beautiful Rayon No. 40 or metallic embroidery thread and a free embroidery design CD. It’s Madeira’s unique 3-in-1 thread assortment!

Each spool is neatly organized by color family and stored in its individual thread pocket. Each pocket is identified with the thread color, number and name so spools can be easily removed, replaced and refilled.

To load and pre-thread up to 12 colors at one time is a snap. Pull all colors needed for your embroidery design. Place polls in thread chambers in color order, working left to right on each side. Pull each thread up from its chamber and through to its corresponding thread guide. For best results, thread should feed from the outside of the spool. Close the doors and stand up the box on its included base to the right of your machine.

Grasping all threads at once, clip ends to even, using the built-in thread cutters. Thread your machine with the first color and being stitching. Repeat for each color. Thread should feed from the right side of the box, up and through the guides, and directly into your machine. Simply rotate the box to access the second set of chambers on the reverse side. Guides can be thread from both sides if you are using both sides of the box.

Choose from two Rayon spool sizes and one Metallic:
• Rayon 220 Box: 80 spools of 220yd/ 200m rayon embroidery thread plus 2 spools of 1650yd/ 1500m Bobbinfil bobbin thread.

Embroidery Thread…What? Why?

Posted by McKenzie on April 13, 2010 | No Comments

When embroidering, it is important to use the correct thread in your bobbin and needle — yes, it does make a difference.

You need to use machine embroidery thread in your needle. Embroidery thread comes in different sizes and materials, but the most popular is a 40wt. or 30wt. rayon thread. Check out Madeira embroidery thread for some options.

As for your bobbin, use the recommended bobbin thread for your machine brand for all purpose embroidery. If you choose to use a pre-wound bobbin, be sure to check your machine brand recommended pre-wounds before purchasing.

What are the consequences for not using the right thread? Your machine thread may break more often, not fill correctly, the pull compensation could be off and you machine could skip stitches. Bottom line — thread choice is critical!
