Quilts have long been a patchwork of fabric extras in various colors, shapes, sizes, and textures sewn together to create a warm and cozy covering.  As the art evolves, creative quilters are blending fabrics and threads that  express a patchwork of personal expressions into functional as well as  decorative quilted pieces. Signature Decorative Spun Polyester thread brings new dimensions to these priceless treasures with its timeless selection of beautiful patchwork color combinations.  Each color combination consists of traditional colors that are aligned in four inch segments to create pronounced surface effects. The Size 30 spun polyester fiber is soft to the touch, strong and durable for multi-directional sewing, but not bulky. Select Signature Decorative Spun Polyester thread to add color, warmth, and texture to your latest creation. Note: For best sewability, size 100/16 needle is recommended.

There are purists in every sphere of human endeavor that insist things be done the “right way”. In the quilting sphere, they represent a passionate group dedicated to the time-honored tradition of quilting and believe the “right way” involves the primary use of cotton fabrics and threads. Signature’s new Size 20 cotton offers an exciting new palette of colors and equally exciting new set of creative options for decorative stitch work.  Made of 100% long staple Egyptian cotton, this heavier cotton has the same wonderful characteristics as the original Signature 100% Cotton thread – extremely strong and durable for multi-directional sewing and yields a very low amount of lint.  You can select from 8 solid colors and 10 variegated combinations, with the variegated colors dyed in predictable one-inch segments.  All colors are available on 200-yard spools and 1,500-yard cones.  A size 100/16 needle is suggested.
