The Madam Sew, Teals, Cotton Thread Set consists of four thread colors, two spools each, in the teal color family. Perfect for summer, modern, children’s, baby or other bright projects. The thread is made of 100% long-staple, mercerized cotton. Which means you’ll get less lint and fuzz building up at your needle and therefore less thread breakage. Because it is cotton thread, it won’t be overly shiny and you’ll also be able to use it for any application where the end project will go in a microwave. Are you looking for a thread that will add depth, texture, dimension and pop to your quilt top? Then this thread set is a must to try. The 50s/3 thread is made of three plies making it thicker than standard, 2-ply 50wt threads so it won’t melt into the background. Instead, your quilting will have an opportunity to shine and your project will be strong enough to hold up to repeated washing or wear. If you sew and want the feel of cotton or a thread that helps your decorative stitches stand out, try this set in your next project. It’s also nice for topstitching too!.
