Embroidery Thread Brother Madeira 1157 Viscose Moss Green 1000m

Brother Madeira 1157 Viscose Moss Green 1000m is a viscose embroidery thread offered on a long 1000 m spool in a natural moss green tone. The thread is suitable for both machine and hand embroidery and provides an even thickness and a smooth sheen that highlights decorative motifs, monograms and apparel embellishments. Its extended length reduces spool changes for larger projects while maintaining consistent stitch quality across runs.

Advantages

This viscose embroidery thread delivers uniform tensile strength and consistent diameter along the entire 1000 m spool, which helps avoid tension variations during stitching. The smooth surface produces a lustrous finish that enhances colour depth and detail in intricate embroidery. The filament construction reduces lint and breakage compared with lower-quality alternatives, supporting reliable operation in domestic and commercial embroidery machines as well as in handwork.

Suitable for

• Machine embroidery on garments, home textiles and accessories
• Hand embroidery and decorative stitching
• Monograms and detailed motifs requiring fine sheen
• Large projects where long spool length reduces thread changes

How to use

Choose the appropriate needle size and tension for the fabric and stabiliser being used; test on a scrap before starting the main piece. Thread the machine or needle with the viscose thread following the manufacturer’s threading path, and trim ends cleanly to reduce fraying. When working on detailed motifs, reduce embroidery speed slightly to prevent skipped stitches and check thread path and tension periodically. For hand embroidery, use needles suitable for fine embroidery threads and make short, controlled stitches to maintain sheen and even coverage.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool away from direct sunlight and in a dry environment to preserve colour and fibre integrity. Use compatible stabilisers and match thread colour to the base fabric where necessary. If running at high speed in commercial machines, inspect thread path and tension settings regularly to minimise breakage and ensure consistent stitch formation.
