That'll teach me to try to remember names without going and looking for the 
spool! They were Sulky threads

Polyester thread:  I agree, Pene, try it first.  I seem to recall
working with some and it was a little stretchy.  Same with some of the
machine embroidery threads, such as Isofil and I forget the other one.
I experimented with Madeira's Sulky, figuring that it would be fine in 
the washing machine, as you can use it for decorative machine embroidery. 
It was wonderful when it came off the pillow - kept its shape, didn't 
shrink, had a shine to it, was fairly stiff, but it didn't wash at all 
well - shrank and puckered (and I absently mindedly treated it like 
cotton lace and pulled it back into shape and it spilt threads all over 
the place)

Madeira don't make Sulky threads, Sulky threads are made by Sulky.
Sulky manufacture polyester, rayon, cotton and metalic threads.
