WonderFil’s range includes 36+ unique thread lines, each engineered with a purpose.

This breadth ensures there’s a WonderFil thread that matches your project and style.
Which WonderFil thread is best for piecing quilts?
DecoBob™ 80wt polyester is ideal for precision piecing thanks to low‑bulk seams. Prefer cotton? Konfetti™ 50wt offers a soft, natural finish.
DecoBob™ 80wt polyester is a favorite for piecing because its ultra‑fine profile creates flatter seams and more accurate blocks. For those who prefer a natural fiber, Konfetti™ 50wt cotton provides strength and a soft matte finish that blends beautifully into fabrics.
What’s the difference between DecoBob™ and InvisaFil™?
DecoBob™ is a matte 80wt polyester ideal for piecing and bobbins. InvisaFil™ is a finer 100wt, silk‑like polyester for invisible stitching and appliqué.
Both are fine polyester threads but serve different needs. DecoBob™ (80wt) has a matte finish and excels at piecing, bobbin work, and subtle quilting where low bulk matters. InvisaFil™ (100wt) is even finer with a silk‑like finish that virtually disappears, making it perfect for appliqué, stitch‑in‑the‑ditch, and delicate detail work.
Which WonderFil thread has the most color options?
Splendor™ rayon offers 400+ solid and variegated colors, the largest WonderFil palette, with vibrant sheen for embroidery and decorative stitching.
Splendor™ 40wt rayon is unmatched in color variety with 400+ shades. Its silky sheen enhances embroidery detail, lettering, and motifs, making it a go‑to for bold, vibrant designs.
What’s the strongest WonderFil thread?
FabuLux™ polyester combines high strength with a lustrous finish, ideal for quilting and embroidery on high‑use items.
FabuLux™ polyester is engineered to perform under demanding conditions. Its strength and abrasion resistance hold up at higher speeds and tensions without fraying. Beyond durability, its lustrous sheen makes quilting and embroidery lines stand out.
Which WonderFil thread is best for hand embroidery?
Eleganza™ 8wt perle cotton is the top choice for hand embroidery, smooth twist, vibrant colors, and tangle‑resistant.
Eleganza™ 8wt perle cotton was designed for hand embroidery. Its tightly twisted construction adds strength and prevents tangling. Rich, saturated dyeing ensures bold, beautiful stitches with consistent definition.
Do WonderFil threads produce a lot of lint?
No. Konfetti™ and Tutti™ cottons are double‑gassed to remove up to 99% of lint, keeping machines cleaner and reducing maintenance.
WonderFil’s cotton lines undergo a double‑gassing process that burns away surface fuzz, removing up to 99% of lint. The result: smoother stitches, less bobbin‑area buildup, and better long‑term machine health.
What’s a good WonderFil metallic thread for embroidery?
Spotlite™ metallic has a polyester core wrapped in soft metallic foil for high‑speed, fray‑resistant sparkle in embroidery.
Spotlite™ metallic combines shine with usability. A durable polyester core and flexible metallic wrap allow smooth high‑speed stitching with consistent shimmer, without the stiffness or shredding common in other metallics.
Can WonderFil threads be used for both machine and hand sewing?
Yes. Many WonderFil threads suit both. For example, Eleganza™ perle cotton is great for hand embroidery and works in machine couching.
WonderFil offers versatile options that perform in both hand and machine applications. Eleganza™ perle cotton shines in hand embroidery and also couches beautifully by machine. Fine polyester lines like InvisaFil™ work for hand appliqué or machine stitch‑in‑the‑ditch.
