What is The Difference Between Sewing Thread and Embroidery Thread?

Thread is one of the basic accessories of sewing hand, and it is also one of the more common objects. We have a sewing machine, but if we don't have the thread, our sewing life won't go on.

Faced with such a common sewing thread, do you often wonder: "What is the difference between sewing thread and embroidery thread?" "Why can't sewing thread be used for embroidery? Why can't embroidery thread be used for sewing?"So we need to buy the original imported wire? And so on...

The difference between sewing thread and embroidery thread is mainly divided into the following categories:

① Thickness: generally speaking, sewing thread is thicker, embroidery thread is thinner.

②brightness: the surface gloss of sewing thread is dim, but it shows low-key luxury; Embroidery thread surface is shiny, smooth texture can reflect light.

③ Usage: we usually sew, such as sewing or making clothes, usually use sewing thread, and in the need of embroidery, need to use embroidery thread. However, if you need to make appliqued embroidery or use decorative stitches, you can also use glossy embroidery thread for sewing, so that we get a more aesthetic finished product ~

Sewing tips:

Therefore, according to the above differences, we need to pay attention to the use of the bottom line in ordinary sewing:

Generally speaking, we usually use what line, then the bottom line is also corresponding to the use of what line, such as the use of surface line is sewing thread, then the bottom line should also use sewing thread. But if we use embroidery thread, should we also use embroidery thread to wrap bobbin for our bottom line? Is that too extravagant?

Can hand suture replace machine suture?

Of course, there are many friends, in the sewing process, will use hand sewing thread instead of machine sewing. Can machine stitches be replaced by hand stitches?

The answer is no!

Generally speaking, hand sewing is only used for hand sewing, because of the wax on the surface of the thread, the hand sewing process is not easy to tangle, but when used on the sewing machine can easily cause a jump needle. At the same time, because the thread tension required by machine sewing is relatively large, the use of hand sewing may cause thread breakage. So make sure you don't use your hands on the sewing machine. Some of the threads on the market are labeled "driver sewn dual thread" and can also be used on sewing machines.
