But WHY? I would think that thread would be just as strong no matter which direction it was spun. Does it have to do with sewing machines and the way they are threaded? Do the differences matter for hand sewing as well as machine?

Sorry this is a little late, but S twist is American made clockwise thread. Z twist is European made counterclockwise thead. The Z twist is less prone to tangling and knotting as well as stronger. Mettler and Gutterman come to mind for good Z twist. Jodi Nelson --------------------------------- Never miss an email again! Yahoo! Toolbar alerts you the instant new Mail arrives.
