Very thick thread - I had a look around at our farmers market today and found some realy thick but beautyful coloured thread for a reasonable price today. Any sugestions which desins to try with a THICK thread? It says 6 KAt No.50 on the spool but I think it is as thick as some buttonhole threads. Has anybody tried thick thread?

My BabyLock machine is very picky about thread. I'd be afraid to use the thick thread in my embroidery machine. However, I'll bet it would work in a serger or regular sewing machine.

So would the thick thread need to be in the bobbin? Would you have to change the tension if you used it on the top? I've never worked with thick thread before, except for couching with my sewing machine. So to sum it up, I am clueless.

If you did use it in the top, you'd possibly also need a larger eyed needle.

Thee are some designs that are digitized for a heavier thread. I think Embroidery Library might have some.

Thick thread works out perfect for some cross stitch. Gives it a hand embroidered look and feel.

FSL for apparel. Try Advanced Embroidery. I work with 50 weight cotton all the time for FSL and fill - sometimes I if I did not know how dense it was I delete stitches on the test run and then increase the size of the design by 6 - 10%. Should stitch out fine! Live Laugh Download Stitch!
