Woven fabrics: thread count

Fabric thread count denotes how many threads were used to make a certain cut of a material (square inch, square yard, square meter). The more threads were used, the more stable is the “body” of a fabric. High thread count fabrics are less prone to stretching and yarn distortion. For machine embroidery is means an easier hooping, lesser complex stabilization, more freedom in design choice, etc.

Thread count is applied as a measurement mainly for fabrics, which are used for bedding and shirts (sateen, percale, poplin, etc.)

Example: Batiste – 20-30 thread count (very lightweight), Popline – 65-80 thread count (lightweight), Satin, Perсale – 85-120 thread count (medium weight), Jacquard – 130-280 (medium to heavyweight).

You see now, that there’s a fine line that separates fabrics according to their thread count and while their weight (or mass) can be different. How is it important to a machine embroiderer? Well, when buying nice bedding sets for embroidering, you’d generally look up the measurements to make sure that the fabric can handle the design you’re going to sew.
