40 Mako' Cotton

This is the "universal" thread weight in the Mako' range, perfect for both patchwork piecing and quilting. Cotton Mako' Ne 40 is a relatively fine thread so it makes a nice flat seam for piecing patchwork and it is also suitable for quilting & embroidery.  

Jenny says :" The thicker threads have their uses for decorative stitching but I would always choose Cotton Mako' Ne 40 or Ne 50, which is a little finer again, for patchwork construction as they both make very fine accurate seams. Cotton Mako' Ne 40 also works well as a quilting thread. As it is a little finer than the Mako' 28 "Quilting" thread it is great for ditch stitching and fine detail work, while still having sufficient definition to look good when you want the thread and stitching to feature. "

Carola says :"  Most favourite thread for Machine Quilting and all purpose sewing. A little heavier to show off the quilting stitches."
 

Marje says :"  available on 1094yd green 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.  Use an 80/12 needle " Marje's video
