Dreamers, we know that one of your favorite hobbies is patchwork and quilting; so today, we are going to recommend you 3 threads that are ideal for quilting and patchwork projects!
These threads have characteristics and properties that will make your work more accessible.
And we suggest you use cotton thread so that it’s “compatible” with the pieces of fabric used.
This is because in patchwork we regularly work with 100% cotton fabric.
And the best thing is that these threads have a wide range of colors that help us to find the tone that best suits our sewing pieces.
Let's know the ideal quilting and patchwork threads!

Use good quality threads
Dreamer, today we made a post to teach you how to identify good-quality threads. So you will have the best finishes in your projects! Stay
Let's learn how to recognize good quality fabrics!
Knowing how to identify a good quality fabric can be challenging if you don’t know its composition characteristics.
Here are 4 tips to help you choose the best quality fabrics for your sewing projects.
Tip 1
You can check this by scratching the fabric.
If you notice that the threads move easily, this is a clear sign that the fabric will fray, or there will be very visible holes next to each stitch.
Tip 2
When looking at it against the light, observe if the threads are perfectly distributed.
If they have more closed or separated areas, holes, or other imperfections that make it difficult to do your projects.
Tip 3
It should be uniform and sharp look for a fold mark on the fabric and see if it has faded.
In prints check that there are no areas without color in the drawing, except for the parts that should be white.
Tip 4
The weft and selvedge threads should form a right angle (90°), and geometric or symmetrical prints should form a right angle with the selvedge.
if it’s crooked, you will not be able to correct it. And the presentation and finish of your projects will not be correct.
