There are many thread choices available to the Embroiderer. Chances are you will use 40 weight rayon or polyester for the majority if your work. But take some time to experiment and see what you can create using different weights and styles. Thread Care Thread should be stored in a cool, dark location. Manufacturers suggest a humidity level of 40% to 60% and a temperature ranging between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Direct sunlight is also not good for thread, as it can cause discoloration over time. Threads should also be kept covered to prevent dust and lint buildup, which will cause the thread to soften, which leads to thread breaks. Thread tends to be somewhat tender. Dropping it will cause "bruising" where the thread contacts the floor. This is actually a weak spot that will cause thread breaks during sewing. www.hsi.us care@hsi.us 188
