If you're looking at Rasant Thread in Bulk, chances are...

• You're prolific at patchwork quilts - now just need a colour that goes with everything
  
• You're sick & tired of constantly running out of thread in the middle of project
• You want good quality thread (that won't lint up your machine) at reasonable cost
• You won't let cheap threads wreck your expensive machine - because you've invested so much in it already!
  

Feeling unsure because you've never commited to ordering such bulk quantity of thread in a single colour before?

Don't be. Because you're not alone...




Here's a little bit of insider information...

Having worked for a decade or so behind the scene in the clothing industry, I was formally trained as a Fashion Designer - and later spent 10 years teaching others the joy of patchwork quilting. I like to share insider tricks, and I believe in doing things properly - and sensibly .


Now, let me share a little-known twist from behind the scene...

Conventional quilting wisdom swears by the "like for like" rule. That means you'd only use 100% cotton threads for 100% cotton fabric - which basically covers the whole world of patchwork.




The theory goes that polyester is a stronger fibre than cotton. Using standard polyester thread can cut through the softer cotton fibres in your fabric over time, causing permanent damage to your quilt - so using polyester thread is not normally recommended. Sensible advice, right?

However...

There are also other factors to consider - for example, the durability of the thread itself could be equally important, if not more.

Think about what your thread is being put through, when you're quilting....

Your thread has to go through a minimum of THREE layers: the quilt top, the batting, and the backing. Often many more layers at the seams - even if you've nested them.


With the needle constantly going up and own through all the layers, there is incredible amount of wear & tear on your thread. Pure cotton thread may not be strong enough - and you definitely don't want the thread to break - in the middle of intricate quilting....

So, what's the solution?

That's where Rasant 120 thread comes in handy.

You're looking at Rasant's signature’s Cotton Wrapped Polyester thread - also known as Core Spun Cotton / Poly. It has a very strong continuous filament polyester core covered in cotton fibres so that it is gentle on your fabric.

Hey, now you get to enjoy the best of both worlds!


So this is the thread I actually use myself - along with other seasoned quilters. Now You Can, too.






Of course, it makes perfect sense to Buy Bulk &  Save ...

Grab ALL 10 (ten) reels of these Rasant 120 Core Spun Cotton / Polyester Threads   - in the ONE colour that blends in: 0189 Soft Grey (also known as old colour 0103).

Considering how much Rasant Thread costs...

You can pay up to $8.99 elsewhere for just a single spool - think about how quickly you get through one spool, and end up short of thread again - it's not rocket science is it?!







What would it be like to NEVER waste time in agonising over matching thread colours to your printed fabric, ever again?

Using this particular shade takes the headaches out of trying to match different colours..... so you can be fully prepared before you start a new quilt!




This colour comes highly recommended by quilting insiders - because Rasant 0189 Soft Grey is versatile & blends in seamlessly - whether you use it for charity quilts in bulk, or that special project with your precious fabric.

Not familiar with Rasant? I'll tell you more about the brand later :-)

First - I'd like you to know About the thread itself... and Why it is the best kept secret of sewing and quilting teachers - especially this colour!


Alongside Gutermann Threads (which we all love), Rasant is one of the world’s best known and most popular brands of sewing thread. Made in Germany by the Amann Group, Rasant Thread is famous for its consistency, durability and tensile strength - suitable for a wide range of machines.

Including:

• Domestic Sewing Machines
  
• Industrial Sewing Machines
• Overlocker / Serger
  
• Coverstitch Machines
• Embroidery Machines
  
• Long-Arm Quilting Machines
  

Rasant 120 Thread is a Core-Spun Poly Cotton.

In other words, this means it is a polyester core thread that is wrapped in cotton. It provides the strength and durability of polyester with the feel and sew-ability of cotton.




What is "Core-Spun", exactly?

It tells us about how the thread is actually made.

You see, threads are basically fibres twisted together by spinning to form a continuous length - the result of this process is simply known as a "spun" thread. This is how threads are commonly made.



Core Spun takes it one step further - by having a core in the middle of the thread itself, and covering this core completly by spinning a layer of fibre outside of it - forming a core-spun thread.


What does "120" actually mean?

It's the thread weight.

Thread weight is the thickness of thread and works on a scale, typically between 30-120. The higher the weight number, the thinner the thread, so 100 weight thread is thinner than 60 weight, for example. This means Rasant 120 thread is superfine, strong, yet gentle to your fabrics - even delicate ones. Best use 70/10 or 80/12 size needles.


What's the Benefit of using a 120 Core-spun Thread?

In short: it's Fine yet Strong - ideal as a sewing thread.

• More Durable - that means you can sew more because it breaks less.
• Minimal Shedding - keeps your machine happy & healthy for years to come!
  
• Less Shrinkage - better at hight temperature for washing & ironing.
• Finer Than Most - so that makes it easier to thread for you!
  
• Colourfast - no worries about colour runs onto your quilts or garments.
• Higher Twists - gives better resistance to rubbing and wearing.
  
• Knots & Kinks Resistance - enjoy snag-free smooth sewing all the way!
  

In Fact, Don't just take my words for it. Instead...








How is Poly / Cotton Blend Better than 100% Cotton or 100% Poly?

Great question!

In short, poly core cotton thread has the look and feel of traditional pure cotton threads with the strengths & flexibility of a blended fibre. Long arm machine quilters espeically love it, because Rasant thread is easy to use, gives beautiful results, and breaks less often when using a long arm machine.

Now let's look at the Pros & Cons of Cotton and Polyester fibres in a thread...

100% POLYESTER THREAD

In an industrial setting, polyester fibre dyes extrememly well and offers superior colourfastness. Pure polyester thread is strong and will generally outlast pure cotton thread - it is also cheaper to produce in most case. These are the pros, and good reasons why 99.9% of all store-bought clothings are made with 100% Poly threads.

However, being 100% synthetic, polyester thread can be affected by heat and static electricity, which cause issues during the act of sewing. How come?

Because using synthetic thead on synthetic fabrics can create surprisingly high needle temperatures and generate high levels of static electricity which can often result in missed or slipped stitches when the thread loop fails to form properly under the needle plate.

This can also lead to thread shredding and stretching - which can cause puckering and jamming the machine - espeically when the thread is a super cheap, bargain basement quality.Not recommended.

100% COTTON THREAD

Pure cotton fibre is stable and it generally has little to no stretch. Being a natural fibre, 100% cotton isn't affected by heat or static. That means it doesn't interfere with stitch formation but lacks tensile strength and long-term durably compared to polyester.

Even though your machine generally loves stitching with cotton, a poor quality thread made with inferior short cotton fibres will still deposit more lint than polyester, gunk up your machine, and may lead to expensive repairs. You do get what you pay for - espeically in sewing thread!


That's Why I Always Remind Everyone....

If you've already spent GOOD money on a decent machine, don't go CHEAP on threads. Because the risk is just not worth it.

Instead, simply choose a high quality thread - such as Rasant - that combines the benefits of both fibres, so you can avoid headaches and  Enjoy the BEST of both worlds!






Don't Pay RRP at $8.99 per reel - you can SAVE by bulk ordering instead!
