Embroidery Thread

For those of you who have been using Christopher Nejman's Book Pillows with your needle punching machine, you know that he uses LOTS of different colors of metallic and other fancy embroidery threads on his pillows.  If you happen to have lots of threads on hand, then that is not big a deal.  But, if you don't have a great variety, you might just find that purchasing a wide variety of colors and textures of threads may be cost prohibitive.  Recently, when I was looking into embroidery thread kits, I stumbled on a fabulous find that is very reasonably priced for those who want to have a wide variety of choices without spending a small fortune.  The kits are made by Madeira (a fabulous name in Embroidery Thread) and have a large number of spools with only 50 meters (about 44 yards) of each color.  This is a great way to try out these threads and to have a great selection of colors to choose from at a relatively low cost.

There are three kits available.  The first kit contains 24 spools of Madeira Supertwist thread in a hinged box.  Some of the threads are variegated and some are a single color.  All of the threads have texture to them because they are made with both polyester and metallic threads that have been twisted together.  I love using these threads when I am doing free motion embroidery because my sewing/embroidery machine just loves them.  And, they give me a fabulous texture in addition to the flash from the metallic thread.

The photos don't show all 24 colors, but you should have a good idea of what is in the package.  I really love these threads.  I hope you will too.

Madeira Opal Thread Box

These colors are not in the 24 color Thread Box above.  This box contains 10 spools of 50 meters (about 44 yards) in rainbow colors mixed with an Opal/pearl metallic thread.  They have the same kind of texture that the Supertwist threads have.  This was the first box of these threads that I bought and I really love how they work.  They allow you to do less free motion embroidery while getting a very nice effect and, like the Supertwist Threads, my sewing/embroidery machine love working with these threads.  The box has a lift off top and contains a thimble, just in case you want to use them for doing hand embroidery.

Madeira Metallic Thread Box

At least 9 of these colors are not in the 24 color Thread Box above.  This box contains 10 spools of 50 meters (about 44 yards) of metallic threads.  The colors are silver, 3 different gold colors, royal blue, red, green, purple, black/silver variegated and black/pastel variegated (this is similar to one color in the 24 color Thread Box.)  The variegated threads are much like the Supertwist and have great texture.  The other colors are like a more traditional metallic thread.  I have used these metallic threads with great results on my sewing/embroidery machine.
