What embroidery supplies does Linda's carry?

Linda's All Things Embroidery collection includes machine embroidery threads (Floriani, Isacord, Embellish), tearaway and cutaway stabilizers, embroidery hoops and frames, digitizing and editing software, sharp embroidery needles, and specialty notions like bobbin thread, marking tools, and hoop grippers.

What thread is best for machine embroidery?

40-weight polyester or rayon thread is the standard for machine embroidery, offering vibrant color, strong stitch formation, and smooth running through embroidery machines at high speeds. Floriani and Embellish threads are popular choices available at Linda's.

Do I need different stabilizer for different fabric types?

Yes — fabric type greatly influences stabilizer choice. Use tearaway for stable wovens, cutaway for knits and unstable fabrics, and water-soluble stabilizer for projects like free-standing lace or when no stabilizer can remain in the finished item.

What needle should I use for machine embroidery?

Embroidery-specific needles with a larger eye and scarf help prevent thread shredding and breakage at high machine speeds. Use an 80/12 embroidery needle for most standard embroidery and increase needle size for heavier thread weights or denser designs.
