Recommended needles when using a thread: embroidery needle 3, Ballpoint Embroidery Needle 3, embroidery needle with ball point 22

• twisted from four threads
• not divisible
• medium twisted
• light sheen
• mercerized (see above)
• round thread
  • lies like a mini cord on the fabric
• use relatively short threads to maintain the sheen
  • Gloss is lost due to friction when cutting in and out
  • as soon as the thread begins to roughen or appear dull, carefully turn it clockwise
• The available strengths of the four-ply thread always vary a little with the “fashion”, i.e. the stitching techniques that are being preached by lobbyists. A pity, because Cotton á Broder is one of the most beautiful embroidery threads.
  • The #25 available from us is one of the most common sizes. The most powerful Cotton á Broder is Size 8. I’ve also had an old Cotton á Broder #100 in my hands! The bigger the number, the finer!
