Great embroidery requires Great thread.  

We use only Madeira Embroidery threads for our work.  Madeira Thread is the natural choice for embroidery on all the new organic and green products available this year, and as Madeira states "the choice of market leaders".

Madeira:
The Green Company

For nearly 100 years, Madeira has set the world standard for manufacturing and distributing embroidery thread within an ethical and eco-friendly environment. Adhering from the start to the principles of Re-think, Reduce, Re-use and Recycle, Madeira maintains its “choice of market leaders” status by taking a position of responsibility and accountability…
