Does this come with cotton or polyester thread?

I think it is a nylon base mix, some come with a waxed tread but I am not sure what it is. I purchased extra threads in larger amounts, and make sure you buy extra needles( a must). The one in the picture I almost sure is a wax base, sorry I don't know the type of thread, but I have 4 of these and all came with wax base thread. But make sure you buy extra needles and a verity of thread thicknesses. I love these hand stitcher's and use quite a bit.

The tag on the quilt says 100% cotton. The tags on the pillows say 100% polyester. Hope this helps you.

I now know I was wrong about my comment. It is not cotton but microfiber. However, the rating is supposed to be the equivalent of cotton 1800 thread count.

100% Polyester. Machine was cold gentle, no bleach, dry tumble. It has a little sheen to the fabric. It washes well.

I don't know for sure, but since most cotton thread or anything else cotton is made from cottonseed I wouyld guess it would have to be dyed for the general market. See how many shades of white there are for example. Hope this is helpful.

50/50 poly cotton. I've washed it a couple times and it still looks beautiful.

Hello - I generally buy a cotton/poly blend - it is durable and quite easily found. Coates & Clarke is a vey well known brand. It would also help if you knew what kind of projects she might be undertaking...the weight of the thread varies with the task. I just googled "Brand names for sewing Threads"and there were a variety of experts writing on the subject if you want to take the exploration further...Good luck!

I'm not sure of the thread count. They are 55% cotton 45% polyester. Hot water wash, no problem, even occasional bleach, no problem. These are hospital bed size sheets that I have and they fit snugly!

Hello, I am not sure if it is polyester or nylon but the density of the fabric is very thick. It is not flimsy in any way and I have had mine for over 5 months and it has survived heavy snowfall, high winds, and very heavy rain with thunderstorms. I am not sure what the thread count is. If you are looking for quality, I think you will be very pleased with the product. Hope this helps.

I imagine it is silk thread. I can't tell you I'm 100% certain. However, these pillow cases have withstood my two German Shepherds, one golden retriever & a cat jumping around & playing on my bed with no freys or tares.

I bought this thread a few months ago. I have a studio so I sew a lot and I am very happy with the thread and the price. I have had no problems with it at all. The package says Tkt:120 Tex:24 1000 m It is ployester thread and it is from coatsindustrial.com. Hope that helps

FYI silk is a THREAD, satin is a WEAVE. In order to make fabric, you take a type of thread, and weave it in a certain way. It is entirely possible to have a satin-weave fabric that is made of 100% silk threads. If what you actually want is a silk vs polyester test, that is something entirely different - and as another responder pointed out, the only way you are going to know for certain is if you burn it.

I ordered Polyester Thread Sets - 40 Spools - 1000M - 40 wt. by Threadart on Amazon and it is great for embroidery. Cost is $39.99. The only problem I have is that the thread gets tangled on spool holder but I put the spool of thread on the table and it works fine. I'm still in the learning curve as I've only had the machine about 3 months and haven't had much time to spend learning it. Hope this helps.
