Gutermann Bulky Lock 80 Overlocker Thread - 1000 Metres

Gutermann Bulky Lock 80 is specifically designed for use with overlock (serger) and coverlock machines. It is not typically recommended for standard straight stitch or zigzag sewing machines.

It's primarily intended for serger seams and finishing edges. For structural seams on non-stretch fabrics or areas requiring high tensile strength, a different type of sewing thread might be more appropriate. However, it excels in creating soft, flexible seams on knits.

Bulky Lock 80 is thicker and more elastic than standard overlocker threads. This bulk provides better coverage for cut edges and contributes to a softer, more comfortable seam. Its elasticity is also superior for stretchy fabrics.

It is ideal for knit fabrics such as jersey, interlock, and fleece, as well as other stretchy materials. It also provides a neat finish on woven fabrics.

While the thread's bulk provides coverage, choosing a color that closely matches your fabric will ensure the most seamless and professional appearance. It is available in various colors to suit different projects.

Each spool contains 1,000 meters of Gutermann Bulky Lock 80 thread.

Check machine tension settings, ensure needles are sharp and correctly inserted, and verify that the thread is not snagging on the spool or guides.

Verify that the machine is correctly threaded, particularly with Bulky Lock 80 in the correct loopers. Adjust differential feed and tension settings for the fabric being used. Ensure the needle is appropriate for the fabric type.

This is expected for its intended use. Ensure it is placed in the loopers of the overlocker for seam construction or edge finishing. If used in a needle, ensure the needle size is adequate. Adjust tension to balance the stitch.
