DecoBob is a low bulk 80wt 2-ply cottonized polyester thread - delicate but incredibly strong This thread has been treated to take all of the stretch from the thread, making it incredibly easy to sew with. However, the process also removes a lot of the shine from the thread, giving it more of a matte finish that lets it hide in the fabric. WONDERFUL FOR PIECING!
Have you ever heard about 80wt thread?
Stitch in the Ditch provide the latest technology for Quilters, you will be amazed at the difference the finer threads make to your sewing experience!
We know how much you love using DecoBob in your bobbin but we love it as a top thread too! It sinks right into the fabric as sweetly as silk thread but at half the cost! This thread is also a perfect choice for stitch in the ditch or applique stitching. We also like to use it for dense background quilting because it just melts away!
However, since most sewing machines are calibrated for medium weight thread, such as a 40 or 50wt, sometimes you may need to make some minor adjustments to your machine when sewing with this thread. We always recommend a needle size of 70/10 or 80/12 when working with these threads.
A bigger needle will punch a hole that’s too large for the thread, so the thread will be sitting in a hole that’s too large for it to fill, resulting in an ugly stitch. The thread will also move around more in the larger eye, so a smaller eye will give you more control of the thread Remember to change your needle after max 8hrs sewing. A bent needle can knock timing out on your machine, a needle that has a burr can cause thread breaks.
Use DecoBobâ„¢ for precision piecing, stippling, general sewing, and machine embroidery. Use in sewing machines, embroidery machines, quilting machines, sergers, and handwork This incredible polyester thread carries a textured matte finish that has been treated to behave more like cotton and eliminate stretch
