Thread selection
For a perfect sewing result, thread and fabric quality play an important role.
We recommend purchasing quality threads to achieve good sewing results.
• Cotton threads have the advantage of being a natural fiber and therefore are especially suitable for
sewing cotton fabrics.
• Mercerized cotton threads have a slight sheen that is not lost with washing.
• Polyester threads have a high tensile strength and is particularly colorfast.
• Polyester threads are more flexible and are recommended where a strong and elastic seam is required.
• Rayon threads are made of natural fibers and have a brilliant sheen.
• Rayon threads are suitable for decorative stitches and achieve a more beautiful effect.
