Collection FAQs

What types of projects are best suited for heavy duty sewing threads?

Heavy duty sewing threads are ideal for projects requiring exceptional strength and durability. This includes upholstery for furniture, leather goods like bags and belts, canvas items such as tents and bags, and reinforcing seams on heavy fabrics or outdoor gear. They are also excellent for decorative topstitching where a bold, visible stitch is desired.

What makes a thread 'heavy duty'?

Heavy duty threads are typically made from strong, durable fibres like polyester, nylon, or sometimes cotton blends. They are manufactured to be thicker and have a higher tensile strength than standard sewing threads, allowing them to withstand greater stress and abrasion without breaking. This makes them perfect for demanding applications.

Can I use these heavy duty threads for upholstery?

Absolutely. This collection features numerous upholstery thread options specifically designed to handle the rigours of furniture making and repair. Their strength ensures seams remain secure and durable, even with frequent use.

What is the difference between strong thread and extra strong thread?

While both provide enhanced durability, 'extra strong' threads generally offer even higher tensile strength and abrasion resistance than 'strong' threads. This means they are best suited for the most demanding applications, such as heavy leatherwork or industrial sewing, where maximum resilience is critical.

Are these threads suitable for sewing machines?

Yes, the majority of threads in this collection are suitable for use with sewing machines, including heavy duty sewing machine thread designed for industrial or robust domestic machines. Always ensure your machine's needle is appropriate for the thread thickness you are using.

Do you have thick thread options for decorative purposes?

Yes, we offer a range of thick sewing thread that doubles as a decorative element. These thicker threads create a prominent stitch line, perfect for adding visual interest and emphasis to topstitching on garments, bags, or home decor items.
