FAQs
What makes Nylbond different from regular nylon thread?
Nylbond is a 'closed bonded' nylon yarn. This means the individual filaments are fused together, preventing separation and increasing strength and durability. Regular nylon thread may have loose filaments that can fray more easily.
Can I use this thread for everyday garment sewing?
Yes, it's excellent for items like jeans or durable activewear. For very fine or delicate fabrics where extreme strength isn't needed, a lighter thread might be preferred to avoid bulk or unnecessary tension.
What needle type should I use with Coats Nylbond?
A universal needle or a specific leather needle is often recommended for heavier fabrics like denim or leather. For sportswear, a ballpoint or jersey needle might be suitable depending on the fabric's knit.
Is this thread waterproof?
Coats Nylbond is made of nylon, which is inherently water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It can withstand moisture and is resistant to mildew.
How should I store this thread to ensure longevity?
Store the thread in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the nylon fibers over time. Keeping it on the spool it comes with is ideal.
Can Nylbond be used for hand sewing?
Yes, Nylbond can be used for hand sewing, especially for projects requiring strong seams. Its bonded construction helps prevent fraying when handling.
Troubleshooting
Thread breaking during sewing
Check your sewing machine's needle for sharpness and correct size. Ensure the thread path is free of obstructions. Slightly loosen the upper tension setting on your machine.
Skipped stitches
Verify you are using the correct needle type and size for the fabric and thread. Ensure the machine is properly threaded and the bobbin is wound correctly. Clean lint from the bobbin area.
Seams are puckering
The upper tension may be too tight. Try loosening it slightly. Ensure you are using the correct stitch length for your fabric. Consider using a walking foot for heavy or multiple layers of fabric.
Thread fraying excessively
While Nylbond is bonded, ensure your machine's needle is not damaged. Check that the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool. If fraying persists, ensure the thread isn't catching on any rough edges in the machine.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides exceptionally strong and durable seams.
- The elasticity allows seams to stretch with the fabric, preventing breakage.
- Resists fraying and separation due to its bonded construction.
- Suitable for a variety of demanding sewing applications.
- Performs well on sewing machines, minimizing sewing difficulties.
Cons
- May require tension adjustment on sewing machines compared to standard threads.
- Bonded construction can sometimes feel stiffer than non-bonded threads.
- Primarily suited for strong seams; may be overkill for very delicate fabrics where less strength is needed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: For optimal performance, it is recommended to test the thread on a scrap piece of your intended fabric. Adjust your sewing machine's tension settings; you may need to slightly loosen the upper tension to accommodate the thread's elasticity and strength. Use an appropriate needle size for your fabric and thread, typically a universal or leather needle for heavier materials.
Compatibility: Coats Nylbond is compatible with most standard domestic and industrial sewing machines. It is designed to work with a wide range of fabrics, including denim, leather, canvas, nylon, polyester, and other synthetic and natural materials requiring strong seams. It is particularly well-suited for elasticated fabrics.
Care: The thread itself is highly durable. For finished items sewn with Nylbond, follow the care instructions for the specific fabric. The thread is resistant to mildew and most chemicals, making it suitable for items that may be exposed to various conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV light, as this can degrade nylon over time.
