Can you use machine embroidery thread on cross stitch projects?
Also, are larger skeins of regular floss available?

    If you mean the rayon type of thread that is using in sewing machines..........YES. You will have to ply it up a bit. You can use it in place of the rayon flosses like Marlitt, Rainboy Gallery's Patina and DMC satin. There are a lot more colour choices in the sewing machine threads compared to the usual rayon threads used for cross stitching or surface stitching. Go to top
