There’s a lot that goes into sewing, from different sewing machines, accessories and tools, fabric, and much more. The simple, fundamental idea of sewing, however, started with just a simple needle and thread.
Below, I have compiled a list of products to produce the ultimate guides to both hand needles and threads.
Ultimate Guide to Sewing Threads for Any Sewing Project
The thread is one of the most important parts when it comes to sewing. Without any thread, sewing is simply not possible.
The type of thread you use determines the strength of the stitches and the overall hold of the garment and therefore different sewing projects require different threads.
Below we’ve included some of the best threads for a variety of different projects.

This CiaraQ Sewing Thread bundle comes with 30 colors of high-quality polyester thread with 250 yards per spool.

Singer 260 Clear Invisible Nylon Thread
If you’re looking for a clear thread option, this is a great, affordable option. Sometimes projects require the thread to be unnoticeable, which is where a clear thread can come in. Although we don’t recommend using clear thread if you’re a beginner, if you’re more experienced, it’s a great way to “invisibly” sew quilts, crafts, and other home decors.
This Nylon thread is very high strength but low on stretch and contains 135 yards on the spool.

It doesn’t get any more basic than needles and thread when it comes to sewing. Needles come in various sizes, lengths, and types that are dependent on the type of project you’re sewing. There are needles that are very blunt at the tip all the way to extremely sharp.
Although both knitting and crochet also use needles, their needles are incredibly different from sewing needles, along with embroidery and quilting needles.
