FAQ
Product & Materials
Q. What kind of thread do you offer?
We specialize in high-quality embroidery threads, including rayon, polyester, and metallic threads, suitable for both home and industrial machines.
Q. What’s the difference between rayon and polyester thread?
Rayon has a softer finish and high sheen, making it ideal for delicate fabrics and intricate designs. Polyester is more durable and colorfast, great for high-wear items or garments that require frequent washing.
Q. Are your threads colorfast and washable?
Yes! All our threads are made with premium dyes and tested for washability. However, we recommend testing your specific laundering method and fabric combination for best results.
Q. Are the threads compatible with all embroidery machines?
Absolutely. Our threads are compatible with most major machine brands including Brother, Janome, Bernina, Tajima, Barudan, and more.
🚚 Orders & Shipping
Q. How quickly do you ship?
Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. We’ll send tracking information as soon as your order is on its way.
Q. Do you offer free shipping?
Yes! We offer free shipping on orders over $100 (some restrictions apply, like oversized stabilizers and aerosol items).
Q. Can I change or cancel my order after it’s placed?
If your order hasn't shipped yet, please contact us right away — we’ll do our best to accommodate any changes.
🔁 Returns & Exchanges
Q. What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 15 days of the invoice date. Items must be unused, in their original packaging, and accompanied by a Return Authorization Number (RAN). For more details, visit our Return Policy page.
