The Madam Sew, Sand & Stone, Cotton Thread Set consists of eight neutral tones that are great for quilting and sewing. These colors work well with a variety of fabric colors and prints making this a basic and versatile thread choice to add to your collection.

The thread is made of 100% long-staple, mercerized cotton. This is important as you’ll get less lint which means less fuzz building up at your needle and less thread breakage. Because it is cotton thread, it won’t be overly shiny and you’ll also be able to use it for any application where the end project will go in a microwave (think Bowl Cozy or Potato Sack).

If you are looking for a quilt thread that will add depth, texture, dimension and pop to your quilt top then this thread set is a must to try. The 50s/3 thread is made of three plies making it thicker than standard, 2-ply, 50wt threads so it won’t melt into the background. Instead, your quilting will have an opportunity to shine and your project will be strong enough to hold up to repeated washing or wear. 

If you sew and want the feel of cotton or a cotton sewing thread that helps your decorative stitches stand out, try this set in your next project. It’s also nice for topstitching too!

Instructions & More

Use a 90/14 - 100/16 universal needle. We tested this thread with the 90/14 universal sewing machine needle and it worked fine. It’s always best to test on a two piece swatch to see how it sews. If it doesn’t run through smoothly, switch up to a higher needle size.

If you are looking for a comparison between our thread and some other familiar threads, we’ve done a little quilting and sewing comparison for you in the pictures below. We used Guttermann (3-ply), Ours (3-ply) and Aurifil (2-ply) for these.
