Most embroidery thread is 40wt. Bobbin thread is generally 60wt. When doing machine embroidery it is important to use 60wt. bobbin thread to avoid thread build-up when stitching out designs.
I never use 60wt. thread for piecing but I understand that many do with good results. :wink:

Sewgull, my excuse for not thinking of that is that I was tired after cleaning that room all day :D
And I'm still not done GRRRRRR
Thanks for the great tip!!

gee, that is a good idea to go to the company that made the thread and see what they say.. We have such smart people here.. That's probably why we all love this forum, huh?

I use it in the bobbin when I do machine embroidery. It is a little bit lighter than the embroidery threads.

My embroidery bobbin thread is 70-wt. This is thread that is on the spools. I don't know what weight is on my pre-wound bobbins ... it does not say.
