Would or can you use Metro Embroidery Polyester Thread to sew garments with too? TIA ;D

Monica, I guess you could use them - however - because they are thicker and with the shine on them - they could show up much more than regular thread - but if you were in a pinch and needed something that color and you didn't have any - it could work for you.

Thanks Shirlene...I will have to stock up on my sewing thread too ;D *2U

Yes, you should - if you are going to be sewing - I would highly suggest doing so. You can sometimes find a great deal on sewing thread at your local fabric store or buy some online - they have packages of them on sale all the time.

not usually. This thread is of a lighter weight and therefore not as strong as regular sewing thread. you may have an 'oopsie' ;-)

IF it is all you have available and it matches the fabric I would use it. Not for hems where it will be noticeable (shine). I would set my machine for a closer stitch so there isn't a possibility that it can pull.

I was instructed never to do clothing with embroidery thread. It is not strong enough to hold your normal wear and tear that we put on our garmets.
