Having selected your fabric, you’ll then need to choose a reel or two of thread to go with it. Thread comes in varying thicknesses and types and is graded: the higher the number, the finer the thread. Standard sewing thread is size 50 and will suit most projects.

With a rainbow of different hues to choose from, selecting the right colour can be tricky: if in doubt, choose a shade darker than your project. I’m always amazed, however, at how well certain neutral shades go with almost any colour of fabric. My quilting friends swear by shades of grey thread, as they blend with a multitude of coloured fabrics.
