How was the name Polystar created and does it mean anything? Polystar is the unique combination of the word "polyester" and star - star representing the shine found on every spool of Polystar thread.
Polystar is made of polyester, how is that better than rayon thread? Unlike most rayon threads, Polyester Embroidery Thread is extremely shiny and extremely strong. Polystar embroidery thread is a two-ply polyester embroidery thread that is steadfast and beautiful at the same time. Polystar embroidery thread also will not lose it's color if bleached, something rayon is known for doing.
Are there any other products the Polystar Company makes? Yes Polystar also produces sturdy plastic prewound bobbins, which unlike cardboard or side-less, are durable and made to last. Polystar prewound bobbins come in a two colors including black and white and they function incredibly well in almost any residential embroidery machine. Polystar prewound bobbins are priced very low, and like all Polystar products Polystar prewound bobbins have incredible quality and value.
What is the amount of thread on each spool of Polystar thread and what type of spool does Polystar use? Polystar thread can cover the length of eleven football fields, which is about 1,000 meters or 1,100 yards of thread, enough to last you a seemingly limitless amount of embroidery designs. Polystar thread is spun on mini king spools, which work with a large variety of embroidery machines including cartridge system embroidery machines such as the Brother SE-270D.
How do I know which color I am using? On the bottom of each Polystar Embroidery Thread Spool is the color name (such as Pumpkin) and the color number, so you always know what color you are using when embroidering.
What sets are available for Polystar Embroidery Thread? Polystar makes a set of 61 different colors that are vibrant and has beautiful colors ranging from Deep Rose to Olive Green. The Polystar 61 set also includes a sturdy, simply amazing thread box that houses each thread snug in it's own individual compartment, so you never have threads lost or rattling around. The box even has a magnetic flap to ensure that your box is closed. Polystar also makes a country color set which contains 42 beautiful pastel-like colors, which are great for projects that are using country type designs or for designs that do not require the vibrancy of the 61 color set. In addition, Polystar also makes another set called the Nick colors, which are super-vibrant, and are great for any project that needs some extra flare or colors that pop out at you when embroidered.
Polystar thread is an asset to any embroider at any level. With this article you have hopefully learned more about Polystar products, and will help you make more educated decisions about buying embroidery thread.

Adjust the Tension in your Machine for Successful Machine Quilting
Proper tension in your sewing machine is the one thing that can set your quilt apart - making it look like a professional did it versus an amateur did it.
It's all about the tension; and you know that little dial on your machine - if the tension is not right, it's either too tight or too loose. The goal is to have your threads meet in the middle inside the batting.
If your bobbin thread is showing on the top of your quilt, you need to loosen your tension which means a lower number.
And if your top thread is showing through on the backside of your quilt that means that you need to tighten the tension. That's going to bring the threads up and that means a higher number.
Every thread is different and every machine is different in the threads that it likes. So you're going to have to experiment and see how your machine works with each kind of thread.
Often using the same thread on the top and the bottom or in the bobbin gives you a good result. Also if you use the same color thread on the top and bottom, then you really don't have any problem. Even if it does sneak up to the top or the bottom, it won't be that noticeable.
When using a variegated thread or if you use different threads on the top and the bottom, that also will affect the tension. If you are using a pre-wound bobbin with light-weight thread and the top thread is a heavy variegated thread, you may need to adjust both the top tension and the bobbin tension.
It helps to practice on a quilt sandwich to check your tension before you start working on your quilt. A quilt sandwich is simply two layers of fabric with batting sandwiched between. It measures about 24 inches square, and can be used to check your tension as well practicing stitching your machine quilting designs.
Happy Quilting!

Sewing Machine thread tension question?
I have recently had my 1998 Singer machine serviced. I am trying to sew on calico fabric and I can't seem to adjust the tension. The machine has "auto tension" but that doesn't seem to work.
When I sew straight, the top looks fine, but the bobbin thread is in a straight line and I can pull it right out. If I zig zag, the top looks fine, but the bottom looks odd (like a row of houses, or "M"s with the center "v" upside down, like a house outline).
I have been messing with the tension, but do you adjust the tension with the pressure foot down or up? And with what it is doing, do I need more or less tension? I can only adjust needle tension, not bobbin tension.
The guy I took my machine to for the $100 tune-up said it "was on its last legs"... but it's only 6 years old and I am not a big sewer, so it has less than 6 months' use on it I'd bet. The model is a real basic one, designed for use in sewing classes.... which leads me to believe it should last longer than it has.
Assuming you have a drop in bobbin. There is a small screw in the side of the bobbin casing that will adjust your bobbin tension. But it is be my experiance that what your are describing is not enough thread tension on the top thread. . The top thread isn't pulling back up against the bottom.
