Troubleshooting

Thread breakage during embroidery

Check your needle size (ensure 70-90) and reduce top tension settings slightly.

Skipped stitches

Verify that the needle is inserted correctly and is not blunt or damaged.

Looped stitches on the underside

Check the bobbin tension and ensure the thread is properly seated in the machine's tension disks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-shine finish enhances visual appeal
  • Highly resistant to breaking during high-speed stitching
  • Suitable for a wide range of fabric weights
  • Durable enough for items requiring frequent washing

Cons

  • Limited to polyester composition (not silk or cotton)
  • Requires specific needle sizes for optimal feed
  • Performance depends on correct machine tension settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your machine is set up correctly for synthetic embroidery threads. Use a dedicated embroidery needle in the 70 to 90 range; these needles have a specially shaped scarf that helps prevent skipped stitches and thread breakage. Before starting a large project, test the thread tension on a scrap piece of your chosen fabric. Because this thread is a 40-weight polyester, it is generally robust and does not require overly delicate handling, but keeping your machine's bobbin case clean of lint is recommended. For care, finished projects can be safely washed in temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius without significant color bleeding or structural degradation.
