The Gutermann Maraflex Thread Set is for sewers looking to create durable, flexible seams on stretchy fabrics using a standard household sewing machine. Its key benefit is providing a stretchable, comfortable seam without needing specialized overlock or coverlock equipment. A potential caveat is that it is supplied in a compact set of four basic colors, which may not suit all projects requiring a wider palette.

Yes, Maraflex thread is designed for use on standard household sewing machines. You may need to make minor tension adjustments.
It is ideal for stretchy fabrics such as jersey, lycra, sportswear materials, knits, underwear, and lingerie.
No, Maraflex allows you to create stretchable seams with a straight stitch on your regular sewing machine, eliminating the need for an overlock or coverlock machine.
It provides up to 80% stretch, allowing seams to move with the fabric.
This set includes four spools of 150m each in essential basic colors.
Maraflex thread is made from 100% polyester (PBT) using microcore technology.
Items sewn with Maraflex thread can typically be washed up to 60°C, tumble-dried on low heat, and ironed on a medium setting.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric and thread (try a jersey or universal needle, size 70-90). Check that the needle is inserted correctly and is not blunt. Adjust upper thread tension.
Reduce upper thread tension slightly. Ensure the thread path is smooth and free from snags. Check that the needle is not too fine for the thread or fabric.
Slightly loosen the upper thread tension. Ensure you are using a suitable needle and have tested stitches on a fabric scrap before sewing the main project.
Check that the thread is winding correctly onto the bobbin and spool pin. Ensure correct threading of the machine. Verify that the presser foot is lowered during sewing.
