whats the difference between this thread and regualr cotton thread?

I am no thread expert but there is a difference. This is polyester layered over polyester. 100% cotton thread has a different feel to it. I would suggest going to Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Joann Fabric or any other craft store and feel for yourself the difference between the coats and clark brand and other brands. Even though this is less expensive, in the long run it's more costly because it runs out quickly and it breaks, tangles, snags in your machine and almost all the time during hand sewing so you are basically using more thread and having to discard much of this thread. You get what you pay for. Coats and Clark is not the company it used to be. Now, all of their threads are made in Mexico. Cheap labor and sub-standard material. Hope this helps.

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

No. 100% polyester. You Don't want to use cotton thread as it tends to shrink material when washed (we were told that by local sewing center).

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

I believe it is the same threads as a garden hose. I run my garden hose in the kitchen window when I use it.

Thread I got with mine was tan in color, i ordered an extra spool and it was black. Needle was average size no idea what size that is but it works good on heavy canvas.

1500 refers to the thread count that gives this sheet a soft, smooth texture that does not irritate the skin. It is probably a blend of Egyptian cotton but it is worth the money.

The thread is a British thread 1/2 G I think, they are a straight thread not tapered like USA threads. The company Lightinthebox was really good about trying to answer my questions. What I did was to use 1/2 NTP thread into the valve with lots of Teflon tape and made sure the fitting bottomed out. Worked OK (no leaks yet) For the Shower head I used a nice sharp 1/2 NTP die to get the right threads so I could use a standard shower brass plumbing connector in the wall in case ever want to change it. (lots of Teflon tape also) Lightinthebox did say they have an adaptor but I couldn't wait for another shipment.Hope this helps.

The weight or "tex" of this thread is 30. It is strong enough for everyday sewing, but it is best suited for lighter fabrics.

Hard to tell. The thread is actually composed of spring wire wrapped in plastic.

They are 1000 thread count and very soft and comfortable...don't know about the cotton..

not necessary that high thread counts always better. All depends on the yarn and the way it woven. There are sheets with 400- 600 thread count can be considered better quality that some 1000-1500tc.

The thread is very thin and difficult to work with. I could not get it to work in my serger and I can get a lot of different kinds of threads to work in my serger but this thread was a no go no matter what I did with the tension. I would not recommend this thread.
