From Our Workroom
On a home machine, set a 4,000 or 5,000 yd cone on a separate thread stand behind the machine so the thread feeds evenly.
The embroidery set's 120 yd spools suit decorative work and small projects. For long garment seams, use the 4,000 or 5,000 yd thread.

Which needle should I use?
A size 80/12 or 90/14 universal needle works well with 40/2 thread.

Yes. Set the cone on a thread stand behind the machine so the thread feeds smoothly.
