If You Could Learn Only One Lesson About Embroidery Thread, This Is It

Madeira USA

Why we picked it

A plain-spoken conversation from Madeira USA's Nancy and Jeff about what matters most with embroidery thread. They explain why setting tension is the core skill, why the same thread line can tension differently from color to color (white versus red or black, for instance), how sunlight dries out a cone's lubrication and leads to breaks, and how to store thread away from sun, dust and humidity. Useful for anyone chasing unexplained thread breaks.
