Coats Nylbond Strong Sewing Thread - 8115

Nylbond is a closed bonded nylon thread. Its construction involves twisting and bonding the filaments together, which increases tensile strength and elasticity, while also preventing fraying.

While durable, Nylbond might be too heavy for very fine or delicate fabrics, potentially causing puckering or damage. It is best suited for medium to heavy-weight materials.

'Bonded' refers to a process where the individual nylon filaments are coated and fused together. This creates a smoother, stronger thread that is less prone to separating or fraying during sewing.

The special heat surface finish is applied to further enhance the thread's resistance to abrasion and friction, especially within the sewing machine's needle eye. This prevents the thread from breaking or fraying due to heat buildup during high-speed sewing.

This specific product (8115) is listed with a thickness of 60.

The spool contains 60 meters of thread.

Yes, due to its exceptional strength, elasticity, and resistance to abrasion, Nylbond is an excellent choice for sewing outdoor gear like tents, awnings, and bags that require robust seams.

Check for a dull or incorrect needle size; switch to a sharper, larger needle (90/14 or 100/16). Ensure thread tension is properly adjusted and the thread path is clear of snags.

Verify the needle is correctly inserted and not bent. Ensure the thread is properly seated in the machine's tension discs and guides. Try a different needle type if sewing on a particularly challenging fabric.

Confirm you are using Nylbond thread, which is designed to resist fraying due to its bonded construction and heat finish. Ensure the needle eye is smooth and the thread is not catching on any rough edges.

Adjust upper and bobbin thread tension. Ensure the stitch length is appropriate for the fabric weight. Check that the correct needle type and size are being used.
