They are characteristic for having a minimum thickness, they are a fine strand of textile material. They are commonly found in synthetic material, which are the most common, and natural for more delicate works.
With this kind of thread you can work sewing by hand, with a thin needle, in the same way with machine as most of its presentations are threads adaptable to sewing machines, you must take into account the kind of machine, if it is domestic or industrial the thread will be different in its size and in its composition.
Embroidery thread: This type of thread is used for embroidery projects, as its name indicates. It is made up of several strands of textile material, making it clear that the thickness of this type of thread is much greater than that of sewing thread.
It is not possible to use it in machine, that is why it is important to delimit the use you want when buying a thread, as all can be found in different types of material, but its most commercial presentation and the most common is in natural material commonly rayon, silk and cotton.
