The Madeira Aerolock Overlocker Thread is an essential choice for sewing enthusiasts and professionals who require high-strength, reliable thread for overlocking and serger machines. 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.

Check for obstructions in the thread path and verify that the needle tension is not set too high.
Re-thread the machine following the manufacturer's color-coded guide and ensure the thread is sitting correctly in the tension discs.
Ensure the spool is oriented correctly and use a thread net or cone holder to maintain consistent tension.
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.
