Our Review

The New brothread Multi-Purpose Mercerized Cotton Thread stands out for its superior quality and versatile applications. With its extra-long staple cotton construction, this thread is not only stronger than typical cotton but also boasts a smoother surface and reduced lint, making it an excellent choice for a variety of sewing tasks such as quilting, piecing, and both machine and hand embroidery.

This thread is particularly suited for projects that involve natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen, due to its nearly identical washing shrinkage rates. This compatibility helps avoid puckering after washing, ensuring your projects maintain their integrity over time. Additionally, the innovative spool design with a locking base prevents tangling, thereby enhancing the overall sewing experience.

Product Details

Product Details

The New brothread Multi-Purpose Mercerized Cotton Thread is perfect for quilting, piecing, machine sewing, hand sewing, and both heavy and light embroidery. Made from high-quality extra-long staple cotton, it features a smooth surface, less lint, and a lustrous finish.

  • Thickness: Each spool offers a thickness of 30 WT with a length of 600M (660 yards).
  • Colour Matching: All thread colours can be matched with Brother and Coats colour standards using the New brothread colour chart.
  • Sewing Recommendations: Use needles with large eyes (≥80/12) to prevent thread stripping and slow down the stitching speed to avoid breaks.

Special Features

This cotton thread’s compatibility with natural fabrics like cotton and linen is due to its similar washing shrinkage rate, making it less likely to pucker after washing. The innovative snapping spool includes a locking base that helps keep thread tails secure and tidy. If your sewing machine lacks a horizontal spool feed, consider using an upright thread stand for better performance.
