Don’t forget, the lower the number of thread weight, the thicker the thread will be. Aurifils 12wt cotton thread is the absolute best at providing outstanding definition! It creates exquisite finishing touches on handbags, cloth napkins, pillows, and more! It can even reinforce weak points in clothing.
Choosing a coordinating color of 12wt thread is a fantastic way to add texture and dimension to your fiber art! When using 12wt thread by machine, Aurifil recommends using a much lighter thread in the bobbin, like the 40wt, along with a larger needle, such as a 90/14-100/16 topstitching needle.
