Polyester thread is the most popular thread used for home and
commercial machine embroidery, because it's is strong, colorfast, durable in
laundry and wearing, practically NON-shrinking and can be purchased in huge
variety of colors.
When comparing each of these five properties of polyester
thread to parallel qualities of rayon and cotton, poly wins every
time. It breaks less than the other two, doesn't fray, doesn't bleed, keeps it's
color in heavy laundry, and can perform great without breaking even on very high
embroidery speeds.
Rayon and polyester thread may look almost similar on
a design, and can be mixed together often. Yet, pay attention at the difference
in sheen - many brands of polyester thread are less shiny than rayons, so these
may look not so good if mixed.
We use and carry ThreaDelight polyester
thread, which is VERY shiny. In fact, this brand offers more luster
than many rayons. It's also very reasonably priced. ThreaDelight polyester
thread palette includes 260 vibrant, gradient colors. You're welcome to get
impressed by the smart selection of colors, by looking at embroidery thread
color chart.
Please bear in mind that actual thread colors may slightly
vary from what you see on computer screen, because each computer display shows
colors a bit differently. We would suggest you to purchase ThreaDelight polyester
thread color chart, to make sure that your eyes see real thread
color samples.
