Sewing Thread Brother Madeira 9111170 — 1000 m viscose, green

Brother Madeira 9111170 — 1000 m viscose, green is a spool of high-sheen viscose sewing thread intended for both machine and hand work. The 1000 m length provides a long continuous supply for sewing, embroidery and decorative stitching. The viscose fibre offers a smooth, glossy finish that enhances visible seams and embellishments, while maintaining good drape for garments and home textiles. This green thread is suitable for projects where a colorfast, lustrous appearance is required.

Advantages

This viscose thread combines a high-gloss surface with consistent strength and even winding on the spool, helping reduce breakage during high-speed machine use. The smooth texture reduces friction and needle heat, improving stitch formation for both embroidery and general sewing. The 1000 m spool minimizes spool changes and supports larger projects or multiple garments without frequent thread replacement.

Suitable for

• Apparel seams, hems and topstitching where a glossy appearance is desired

• Home textiles such as curtains, cushions and table linens
• Craft and tailoring projects requiring colorfast, visible thread

How to use

Choose an appropriate needle and thread tension for the fabric and the machine you are using. For general sewing and garment construction, use the thread as you would any standard sewing thread, ensuring the spool is properly mounted to feed smoothly. For embroidery, adjust stabilizer and tension settings to accommodate the glossy viscose surface and test stitches on a scrap piece to confirm stitch density and appearance. For hand sewing, knot the end or use a small backstitch to secure the thread on visible seams.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve colourfastness and sheen. When matching thread to fabric, view colours under the same lighting you will use for the finished item. If working at high machine speeds, periodically check for lint build-up and replace needles regularly to maintain stitch quality.
