Hi question on buying thread for monograming. Has anyone purchased from Thread Art. Our could you suggest a place to buy on line. And how many colors would you have on hand, and what are the colors you use most. Thanks for the help.

I have purchased Thread Art poly. It sewed OK on my Viking. If you are just going to monogram, I would get Black, white, beige, navy, burgundy and a dark green. If you are going to do machine embroidery designs, it would be good to invest in an entire set of colors so you get the weird browns & beiges that give the designs depth.
Some machines are picky. I would order a spool or two from various manufacturers to see which one(s) your machine likes best. |
metro embroidery thread is cheap, sews out nicely and has tons of colors...
metroemb.com just a heads up...i've been ordering from them for 2 years or more, but never ordered their variegated thread because it looks like plain cotton on their web site...I finally ordered a few spools and much to my surprise, it is shiny embroidery thread! Don't know why it looks so dull on their site...but other than that..great company! |
some thread sources with good selection and good prices are-
connecting threads superior threads atlanta thread company sulky metro embroidery thread art joannes, hobby lobby, michaels also carry large selections- buy one or two spools/cones- try them out= if they work for you keep track of where you buy them so if you hate it you know not to buy it again- if it works great you can go get more colors. some machines are quite (thread picky) you need to find what works for you...a little at a time- don't invest alot all at once-just to find your machine will not sew with it. |
I prefer madeira thread a little more expensive but sews up beautifully.

I purchased a large lot of rayon embroidery thread from them, thru an ebay listing awhile back. It was a great price, I got tons of colors and it stitches out beautifully on my Viking machine.
