Proper Thread Selection

I need guidance on the proper selection of thread for my M-30 merrowing machine. I make removable patches, arm bands and wrist bands and I need the edge to have a finished look. The edge thread needs to be completely filled in. If you go to http://www.fotolum.com/walkersafetyband.html on my website you will see the type of edge I need.Thank you for any assistance you can provide.See More
