Crafted from 100% core-spun polyester, this thread offers exceptional durability and suppleness, making it ideal for garments that endure frequent washing and heavy wear. While its 2500-meter spool provides excellent value and longevity, users should ensure their machine tension is properly calibrated for this specific thread weight to achieve optimal seam consistency.

Troubleshooting

Thread snapping during operation

Check for obstructions in the thread path and verify that the needle tension is not set too high.

Uneven stitch loops

Re-thread the machine following the manufacturer's color-coded guide and ensure the thread is sitting correctly in the tension discs.

Thread twisting off the spool

Ensure the spool is oriented correctly and use a thread net or cone holder to maintain consistent tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High tensile strength prevents breakage during high-speed serging
  • Large 2500m capacity for long-term project use
  • Excellent heat resistance for heavy-duty laundry requirements
  • Supple texture ensures even tension and professional seam appearance

Cons

  • Requires machine tension adjustment for optimal performance
  • Large spool size may require a vertical thread stand on some older machines
  • Available in specific weights that may not suit lightweight delicate silks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, place the 2500m spool on the rear spool pin of your overlocker. If your machine is compact, you may need a separate thread cone stand to prevent the thread from pulling unevenly. Always test your machine's needle tension on a scrap piece of your project fabric before starting, as polyester thread may require a slightly different tension setting than cotton-wrapped threads.

Regarding care, this thread is exceptionally low-maintenance. It is colorfast and maintains its integrity through boiling water (up to 95°C) and can be safely ironed. Avoid using excessive steam directly on the seam if the fabric composition does not support it, though the thread itself is heat-stable.
