On Thread

Thread is a very important item in everyday life. For starters, it holds clothes together and when it does not hold clothes together one often becomes disgruntled. For example, the button that is found to have come loose does not makes one want to jump for joy. On the contrary, it brings about a great deal of irritation and the questioning of why the thread used to attach it is not keeping it attached. A popped seam also brings about similar feelings with the exception that it is accompanied by a draft. Furthermore, thread can be quite problematic in sewing. If using a specific color thread, it is almost always certain to break or run out at the most inconvenient time possible. If this does not happen, then the sewer will most certainly find themselves with the problem of those annoying little knots that look like flies.

On the plus side, for those who enjoy embroidery and are willing to face the problems that might occur, it can be very pleasant deciding exactly which thread to use based on color and texture and if it would work well with a particular decorative stitch. However, in all cases of using thread, one should be sure that it is not invisible thread that is being used to avoid having the same experience as a very silly emperor.
