28 Mako' Cotton

This is a thicker thread and is suitable for decorative quilting, machine worked blanket stitch appliqué and is fantastic for hand quilting.  750 metre spools of Ne28/2 Cotton Mako' (made of 100% mercerised long staple Egyptian cotton) supplied on a grey spool holder

Jenny says :" I have found the Cotton Mako' Ne 28/2 thread to work well for both hand & machine work. When machine quilting, the extra thickness of the thread results in a more pronounced stitch giving greater definition to motifs & wholecloth work and the subtle lustre adds a beautiful finish to the design. It is wonderful for hand quilting. The long staple cotton fibres and mercerising treatment, given to all the Mako range, means that the heavier Mako 28 is strong enough to withstand the stress of hand quilting without needing to be glazed or waxed. This is a bonus as it means that the thread works with the needle rather than springing and twisting in every direction as you stitch. If you enjoy applique will also appreciate the good coverage and appearance achieved by using the Mako 28 for machine or hand blanket stitch work. "

Carola says :" for a slightly bolder look; redwork, hand quilting & decorative serging. Use a Metallica size 80/12 needle."

Marje says :"   available on 820yd gray plastic locking spools. It can be used for hand or machine quilting. It beautifully fills in the decorative stitches on your sewing or embroidery machines. It does a great job for topstitching and a fantastic buttonhole stitch for both hand and machine sewing. It is an excellent alternative to floss for hand embroidering. It can be used in all professional quilting machines too. Marje's video
