FAQs

Can I use this thread for regular garment construction?

While it can be used, this thread is optimized for embroidery. For structural garment seams, a standard polyester sewing thread is generally recommended.

Does the thread color fade after washing?

The thread is colorfast and maintains its vibrant appearance even after washing at temperatures up to 60 degrees.

Is this thread compatible with all embroidery machines?

Yes, it is designed for compatibility with most domestic and commercial embroidery machines provided the correct needle size is used.

What does 'trilobal' mean for this thread?

It refers to the cross-section of the fiber, which is shaped like a triangle, allowing it to reflect more light for a high-gloss, premium finish.

Do I need a special bobbin thread?

While you can use this for the bobbin, it is common practice to use a lighter, specialized embroidery bobbin thread to reduce bulk in the design.

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping during high-speed embroidery

Check your needle size (use 70-90) and ensure the machine tension is not set too high.

Looping stitches on the underside of fabric

Clean the bobbin case area of lint and increase the upper thread tension slightly.

Thread shredding

Verify that your needle is sharp and not damaged; replace the needle if it has been used for more than 8-10 hours of active stitching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light-reflecting finish for high-impact visual results
  • High tear-resistance reduces machine downtime due to thread snaps
  • Machine washable at high temperatures for versatility in apparel
  • Generous 1000m spool length provides great value for frequent users

Cons

  • Requires specific needle sizes for optimal performance
  • Limited to specific applications compared to standard sewing thread
  • May require tension adjustments for certain delicate fabric types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, use a dedicated embroidery needle sized between 70 and 90, depending on the thickness of your base fabric. Ensure your machine path is clean and free of lint buildup. When storing the thread, keep it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent long-term color degradation. When washing finished projects, the thread is colorfast and durable up to 60 degrees Celsius; avoid using harsh bleaching agents to preserve the unique shine of the trilobal fibers.
