Beautiful stitches can be formed by serging with specialty threads, cords, and ribbons. These heavy or shiny
threads can be used to enhance the appearance of a stitch, add strength and elasticity, or create special
effects. It depends on the thread you choose for the chosen technique.
Some specialty threads work well through the needle and loopers, while others are too heavy to be threaded
through the needle and are for looper use only.
Use the "Specialty Thread Guide Chart" on (pages 80/81) as a guide for the specialty threads. Keep in mind
that the quality of the thread may vary from one manufacturer to another. Make test samples before starting
on the project.

Using Specialty Threads
Lightweight Threads
Medium Weight Threads
Heavy Weight Threads
Lightweight threads
such as rayon machine-embroidery thread, lingerie thread, can easily be threaded on
the Evolution. Very fine monofilament threads may need threading assistance of a "Threading Cradle" (page
79) or "Looper Threading Tool" (page 78).
Medium weight threads
, such as topstitching thread, Décor rayon, stretch nylon thread are too bulky to
easily "jet-air" through the threading port and loopers. By using a "Threading Cradle" or "Looper Threading
Tool", the heavier threads can be threaded easily in the Evolution.
Heavy weight threads
such as Pearl Crown Rayon, Décor 6, and Candlelight will need extra attention in the
upper, lower, and chain loopers. Please follow the Specialty Thread Guide Chart on page 80 for special instruc-
tions concerning the use of these threads.
