Embroidery Threads

One of the most important elements in successful
embroidery is the quality of the thread. We
strongly recommend that you purchase thread
from a reputable BERNINA dealer in order to avoid
irregularities, thread breakage, etc. which so often
occur with poor quality threads.
Polyester Threads
Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard wearing
colorfast thread and has a high tensile strength. It
is suitable for all types of embroidery, especially
children's clothing and items which will be washed
often or subject to much wear and tear.
Embroidery Threads
Rayon Threads
Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant sheen
and suitable for fine, delicate embroidery, or items
that will not receive excessive wear and tear.
Metallic Wrapped Polyester Thread

suitable for special effects in embroidery.
Preferably use with a Metafil 130/705 H-MET
needle or Organ needle of varying sizes.
