- In this video, ZJ Humbach discusses the way sewing threads have changed since she began sewing. Today, sewing threads have many different manufacturers, as well as a wide variety of colors and materials. ZJ shows us some different types of thread and the important characteristics of each.
Finally! A video that explains the weights of a thread and not by material (cotton, polyester, silk, etc). Thank you! This helped me now understand what my Sewing manual is saying when it says # weight thread recommended for needle and fabric.
This is it !
I use coats and Clark polyester but I can’t figure out where it says the weight on the spool when I buy it. How can I tell? also if I find thread I have about 8 spools of thread my mom have me and I only like polyester, but without having the stickers on them how can I tell if it’s cotton or polyester??
Anyone here becaues they fly fish and are trying to figure out denier? lol. I've been mislead by the fly fishing world! there is the x/0 system (aught system) and the Denier system. I prefer the x/0 system because its the actual physical diameter of the thread, BUT there needs to be some way to measure the STRENGTH of the thread! how hard can I pull before it breaks. Cotten is trash so we never use it, but Nylon is great, polyester is great, we can even use GSP (Gel Spun Polypropylene) which is darn near impossible to break! even Kevlar thread is available for us. However a 10/0 of Nylon is going to have a VERY different breaking weight than a 10/0 GSP thread...so frustrating. That all said I know the denier system better. FYI most hand sewing thread is somewhere around 300 denier. Or 350. I THINK*** I've used nylon (do use) to tie flies. It works SO well at curling up the ends of elk hair to make a caddis.
Great free advice thank you so much
For everyday sewing, which is better? Cotton or polyester?
