"The Cotona No. 30 cotton thread is perfect for my quilting. The slightly heavier thread works beautifully in my machine and creates a strong line that enables me to draw with stitch just as I do with a pen in my sketchbook. And when I want to combine machine stitch with hand quilting, I find the same thread works just perfectly for that too."
"Madeira is the best longarm thread I've ever used! It wound onto my bobbin effortlessly, and adjusting the tension was surprisingly quick. It sews beautifully and looks fantastic on my quilt. I've already ordered more and won't use anything else. Thank you for an amazing product!"
"For me, seam construction within my garment sewing is something that is important, good quality thread is invaluable. That's why my thread of choice is always a Madeira thread. My favorite is the Aerofil. I am on a journey to not only sew my dream wardrobe but teach others too. I want make clothes to last and making sure the seams are sewn with this thread helps that massively."
