How It Works
Machine embroidery thread usage depends heavily on design density. A small, lightly filled design may use 50-100 yards, while a large, heavily filled design can use 500+ yards. Rayon thread gives the best sheen but is less durable than polyester. Bobbin thread is usually thinner and lighter than top thread, reducing bulk on the back of the design.
