Superior Threads
www.machinequilter.co.uk It’s easy to forget when you’re using high-tech machines and frames that quilting is really all about needles and thread. Using the right thread makes all the difference. Having tried them all, we think that Superior Threads are the finest machine quilting threads available. We stock the larger spools because they are best suited for machine quilting. Larger spools are more economical and they move more smoothly through your sewing machine. We have a thread stand that will allow older machines to use large spools. www.machinequilter.co.uk
