"Did You Know?"

The thickness of machine embroidery thread, often referred to as the thread gauge, significantly impacts the density of the embroidered design. Thicker threads, such as those with a lower gauge number, create more substantial and bold stitches, which can fill the design area more quickly and provide a textured, prominent appearance.

Conversely, thinner threads, with a higher gauge number, allow for finer, more detailed work, enabling intricate patterns and delicate shading. Choosing the appropriate thread gauge is crucial, as it affects the overall look and feel of the embroidery, ensuring the final design meets the desired aesthetic and structural requirements.
