Doubling Up Thread

Recommended Posts

I've got 2 spools of this Gutermann linen thread, I think it's 2 ply. Is it possible to double up the thread in each needle before I sew? Any reason not to?

You can. It likely will not lay as straight as if you left it alone. It will sew just fine though. Think about how your Mom sews, always two threads when doing clothing.

I recently tried braiding three pieces together. the results were okay i suppose but probably reflective of amateurish braiding. these were three pieces of 5 strand linen thread.

Twist/roll them.
