 Cotton Mako' (made of 100% mercerised long staple Egyptian cotton) supplied on an orange spool holder This is the finest of the Mako' threads. The long staple Mako' cotton is very smooth, and strong

Jenny says :" It is my favourite thread for needle turned appliqué and detailed machine quilting to minimise the heavy thread build up. It is also a great thread to use in the bobbin for machine embroidery. I recommend the Cotton Mako' Ne 50/2 for fine detailed machine quilting, to prevent bulky thread build up when you are stitching micro stipple and invisible ditch stitching, as the thread disappears into the valley between the seams. Many of you, with a specialist embroidery program for your sewing machine, have already found that the Mako' Ne 50/2 is strong enough to stand up to the most rigorous embroidery design and produces beautiful cotton lace and satin stitch finishes. Another use for Cotton Mako' Ne 50/2 is as a colour matching bobbin thread. If you find that you want the back of your work to be colour matched when quilting, or that the white "bobbinfil" thread always peaks through to the top when you are working an embroidery with your machine, try using the Mako' Ne 50/2 in the bobbin. Ne50/2 is so fine that it tucks into the fabric & embroidery design so that any "tension pokies" become invisible. Cotton Mako Ne 50 also gives excellent results when foundation piecing or stitching miniature blocks. The "secret" here is that the fine thread allows you to stitch a flat seam with a perfect allowance. "

Carola says :"  It produces beautiful machine embroidered stand alone lace. Stitch lace using two layers Water-Soluble Stabilizer. It also gives an elegant look to embroidery on table linens, and of course is great for buttonholes and all types of sewing. Quilters love it for piecing and quilting. It is so fine yet strong and winds a very full bobbin! "

Marje says :"  182 solid colors and 34 variegated colors available on 1422yd orange plastic locking spools and 6460 yd cones. This thread is ideal for general-purpose sewing and most fabrics. It can be used for both hand sewing and all types of sewing machines, sergers, and embroidery machines. The quilters love it for hand or machine piecing, hand appliqué, fine machine quilting stitch and for bobbin thread. It can also be used for machine embroidery when you are looking for a lighter fill for your designs and makes beautiful lace Marje's video
