Are You Sure About The Embroidery
Bobbin Thread You Are Using?
Bobbin thread is a lightweight thread, specially
designed to be used in machine embroidery. It is
fine enough to keep compactly embroidered designs
from being too rigid thus avoiding puckering of
fabrics. But, although fine and light in weight,
it is strong enough to withstand the stress of
high-speed stitching required in the functioning
of embroidery machines. This proves that bobbin
thread is much better than a regular thread.
Also, the fineness of bobbin thread allows more
thread to be wound on the bobbin than a regular
thread.
Which weight of bobbin thread should you
use? Bobbin threads come in a 40-60 weight
thread. The 40 weight thread is slightly heavier
than the 60 weight thread, but it is generally
the 60 weight thread that is used for filling
denser designs with no breaks. However,
whichever thread it may be 40 or 60 weights
both are made of polyester, making the thread
very strong, resulting in less thread
breakage. Which colour bobbin thread should you
use? Generally, you would say that one must use
the same coloured bobbin thread as the embroidery
thread colour. Thats a good idea, but it
sometimes has its limitations! For example, when
you are sewing an embroidery design that
involves 10 different colours, would you want to
keep changing 10 different bobbins? That would
be a time and effort demanding task, which won't
be wise. Yes, when the design involves satin
stitch, you would have no option but to use the
same bobbin thread colour as the embroidery
thread, in order to give a neat and finished look
to your design. But otherwise, it is preferable
to use a single common bobbin thread colour for
the entire design to avoid making it difficult
and time-consuming. Satin stitches require the
same coloured

bobbin thread as that of the embroidery, meaning
that bobbin threads are available in multiple
colours. But, the most commonly used threads are
black and white, used as common backgrounds for
all designs black for dark shades and white for
light shades. Should you buy pre-wound
bobbins? There are options of buying pre-wound
bobbins available in the market by various
manufacturers that can work well with your
machine. Buying pre-wounded bobbin threads can
help you pave a faster path towards completing
your embroidery project, rather than buying
spools of bobbin thread and winding them on your
own empty bobbins. These pre-wound bobbins are
available in various colours and quantities for
you to choose from. So, you can opt for this
alternative to save a lot on your time. However,
pre-wound bobbins are only for single usage. Once
you use up the bobbin thread, you cannot use the
paper or plastic spool for rewinding a new
thread. Also, make sure that the pre-wound
bobbins that you are purchasing comply with the
type of your machine. Check what your machine
supports and buy your bobbins accordingly to
avoid any kinds of hassles and possible
breakdown of the machine, thus delaying your
project considerably. This is because not all
machines can use pre-wound bobbins, and not all
machines can take up any kind of pre-wound
bobbin. So, if you decide to be on the safer side
and buy spools of thread to be wound by you, you
can get in touch with Trim Engineering Services.
