polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in
a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.

and has a high tensile strength. It is suitable for all types of
embroidery, especially children’s clothing and items which will be
washed often or subject to much wear and tear.
Rayon Threads

fine, delicate embroidery, or items that will not receive excessive
wear and tear.
