Made of extra-long staple, double mercerized Egyptian cotton, Cotona is made in Germany according to the most stringent quality and environmental guidelines.

Madeira Cotona No. 30 is a machine embroidery and quilting thread made from the best 100% Egyptian cotton. Each box contains 18 spools of 220 yds/200 m.

It's a thread case, it's a thread rack, it's dozens of spools of beautiful Lana No. 12 and Cotona No. 30 Madeira Thread and a free embroidery design CD. It's Madeira's unique 3-in-1 thread assortment!

Each spool is neatly organized by color family and stored in its individual thread pocket. Each pocket is identified with the thread color, number and name so spools can be easily removed, replaced and refilled.

To load and pre-thread up to 12 colors at one time is a snap. Pull all colors needed for your embroidery design. Place polls in thread chambers in color order, working left to right on each side. Pull each thread up from its chamber and through to its corresponding thread guide. For best results, thread should feed from the outside of the spool. Close the doors and stand up the box on its included base to the right of your machine.

Grasping all threads at once, clip ends to even, using the built-in thread cutters. Thread your machine with the first color and being stitching. Repeat for each color. Thread should feed from the right side of the box, up and through the guides, and directly into your machine. Simply rotate the box to access the second set of chambers on the reverse side. Guides can be thread from both sides if you are using both sides of the box.
