Setup, Compatibility & Care
This thread is compatible with most overlocker machines. Before use, ensure the machine is threaded correctly, following the manufacturer's instructions. When changing colors, completely remove the previous thread to prevent tangling. It is advisable to test the thread on a scrap piece of fabric before starting your project to adjust tension. Store the thread in a dry, room-temperature environment away from direct sunlight. To care for the thread, avoid excessive stretching or pulling, which can weaken the fibers. The color fastness of the thread is generally good, but it is best to test on a small fabric piece if you are unsure.
