Commercial thread is a must if you run a custom embroidery shop. It is much more cost-effective than using "home-size" machine embroidery
thread. The standard cones for commercial embroidery machines include 5000 yards
of thread.
There are five requirements for thread used for commercial embroidery:
1. It must be strong enough to run on high-speed
embroidery machines.
2. It must be colorfast. It's essential for your
business to sell items that are laundry-safe and that can be exposed to sun.
3. Commercial thread must NOT shrink. If your sell an item with
embroidery that shrinks and puckers after laundry, your clients will never be
back.
4. The thread must be long-fiber, and NOT leave lint in your
embroidery machine.
5. The thread must look great - offer beautiful
colors and noble sheen.
Since all of these thread properties are a must,
polyester thread is the only wise choice for commercial embroidery. Some brands
of polyester thread are not shiny and look quite dull. It's a good idea to avoid
these brands, because the vast majority of people love high-sheen
thread.
For commercial machines, we carry ThreaDelight brand polyester
that is exceptionally shiny. It is available in 60 awesome colors, wound on
5000-yard cones. You may shop for
