Hand Sewing

Cross Stitch For best results, use two strands. Cotton 28 creates a lovely effect on 16 and 14 count fabrics.

Hand Appliqué This 28 weight thread is ideal for blanket stitch appliqué. It gives a refined, delicate finish when you want your hand blanket-stitching to look softer and more detailed.

Hand Piecing Many leading artists prefer 28wt for hand piecing because of its balance and ease of use.

Hand Quilting Cotton 28 is a wonderful choice for hand quilting, offering definition that makes your stitches stand out beautifully.

Lace Perfect for bobbin and machine lace, 28wt cotton delivers strength with a fine finish.


Machine Sewing

Machine Appliqué Cotton 28 is excellent for blanket stitch, buttonhole stitches, and appliqué where the thread itself becomes part of the design. It creates a bold, clean edge around appliqué shapes. Pair it with Mako 50wt in the bobbin in the same color, and use a Top-Stitch 90/14 needle for best results.

Machine Embroidery This thread is striking for embroidery when you want your stitches to stand out. Use Mako 50wt in the bobbin or your regular bobbin thread, and consider loosening the top tension slightly. A Microtex or Top-Stitch 90/14 needle works well here.

Machine Quilting Cotton 28 adds extra visual impact to patchwork tops. Use a slightly longer stitch length and Mako 50wt in the bobbin, adjusting the top tension to accommodate the heavier thread. If needed, tighten the bottom tension by threading the bobbin as for embroidery. A Top-Stitch 90/14 needle is recommended.

Serging Ideal for use in the lower looper.

Longarm Quilting Cotton 28 creates deep shadowing and rich texture. Use a large needle (4.0), quilt at a slower pace with gentle curves, and pair with 40wt bobbin thread. It is especially effective when you want quilting to add strong visual impact to the patchwork top.
