FAQs

Is this thread suitable for standard sewing machines?

Yes, while designed for overlockers, it performs excellently on standard sewing machines, especially for construction seams.

What does the OEKO-TEX certification mean?

It means the thread has been tested for harmful substances and is confirmed safe for human health, making it ideal for children's clothing.

Can I use this thread for decorative stitching?

Aerolock 125 is primarily a construction thread. While it holds well, it is best for seams rather than embroidery or topstitching.

Does the thread shrink in the wash?

No, being 100% polyester, it is highly resistant to shrinkage even at high wash temperatures.

How do I store the large 2500m spools?

Store them upright in a dry environment away from direct UV light to prevent degradation of the synthetic fibers.

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping during high-speed overlocking

Check your upper and lower looper tension settings; ensure the thread path is free of lint and debris.

Uneven or loopy seams

Verify that the spool is feeding smoothly and not catching on the spool pin; re-thread the machine completely.

Thread fraying at the needle eye

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric; clean the needle plate and hook area of any buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-tensile strength prevents seam breakage
  • Generous 2500m length reduces replacement frequency
  • Withstands high-temperature washing and bleaching
  • Consistent thread diameter for even tension
  • Environmentally certified and safe materials

Cons

  • Primary focus on overlocking may require tension adjustment for standard sewing
  • Limited color range compared to boutique decorative threads
  • Large spool size may not fit all standard domestic vertical spool pins

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, place the 2500m king spool on a dedicated spool stand if your machine does not accommodate larger thread cones. Ensure your machine tension is calibrated for polyester thread, as core-spun varieties may differ slightly from cotton alternatives. Regarding care, the thread is fully machine washable and retains its integrity through dry cleaning and bleaching processes. Always store threads in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy and strength of the polyester fibers over time.
