Quilting Thread You Can Count On
One sewing notion you should never skimp on is quilting thread – but you needn't worry if you buy yours from Fat Quarter Shop. We stock top-quality quilting thread brands from trusted manufacturers.
You may be wondering if it's worth spending a little more to get good-quality sewing thread. The answer is a resounding "yes!" The best sewing thread is sleek, resists friction and won't break or pucker when you're stitching. Machine quilting threads should also be strong enough to hold seams together, no matter how many times your project is laundered. By spending a little more upfront, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches along the way. Helpful tip: Go one step further – prevent your quilting threads from tangling or fading by storing them in one of our thread storage boxes.
Fat Quarter Shop has an abundant assortment of high-quality thread for quilting and other sewing projects. If you're doing embroidery, you'll find all the cross stitch floss you need to complete your project. Get the best thread for sale at Fat Quarter Shop today!
Sewing Thread Basics
There's more to sewing thread than meets the eye. You'll discover this as soon as you begin shopping. Here are some things to consider when choosing quilting thread:
- Weight: The higher the number, the finer the sewing thread. If you're stitching lightweight fabrics, use lighter thread weights such as 40 or 50. These are the most common cotton thread weights for sewing a quilt. For heavy materials, use a heavier thread weight. For hand quilting, embroidery or top stitching, 12-,18- and 28-weight threads are a good choice.
- Fiber Content: Generally, you're advised to match your thread with the type of fabric you're using – cotton fabric = cotton quilting thread. However, experienced quilters may prefer to use poly-cotton or polyester thread with cotton fabric. The type of thread you use is entirely up to you. Generally speaking, cotton thread is strong, takes dye well, adapts to changes in the fabric (e.g., shrinkage) and tolerates high heat during ironing. Polyester sewing thread is smooth and strong and has a little elasticity, making it ideal for synthetic blend fabrics, particularly stretchy ones. Silk sewing thread is used to stitch fine fabrics or for finishing work such as French seams or invisible hems.
- Color: Do you want your thread to blend in with your fabric or are you embroidering a design that needs to stand out? In all likelihood, you'll need both types of thread for your quilting project. You may even decide to get one of our thread boxes to cover all the bases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Quilting Thread
Have a question about quilting thread? We've answered a few here, but please reach out if you need more information about any of our products.

Fat Quarter Shop has a wide range of quilting thread brands for sale, including:
- Aurifil Thread
- Gutermann Thread

What Are Thread Cones Used For?
Typically, a spool contains 600-1,420 yards of sewing thread, while a cone has 2,500 to 3,280 yards. Bear in mind that if you want to use a thread cone, you'll need to get a thread stand because a sewing machine spool pin can't hold a cone. Helpful tip: Thread cones are ideally suited for embroidery on longarm quilting machines.
What Is Variegated Thread?
Unlike single-color cross-stitch thread, variegated thread is an embroidery and cross-stitch floss that's dyed to provide various colors throughout the thread.
