This specific product is stored in a third-party warehouse. This arrangement means there's an additional step in the dispatch process, leading to a longer delivery timeframe for orders containing it. For urgent items, placing a separate order is advised.
Yes, the thread is washable. It is best to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid high heat when drying or ironing.
Store the spools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This helps to maintain the integrity of the metallic coating and the vibrancy of the colors.
Ensure you are using the correct needle (metallic or sharp embroidery needle, size 80/12-90/14). Check machine tension and adjust if needed. Verify the thread path is smooth and free of burrs.
Confirm the correct needle is installed and is not bent or dull. Ensure the thread is properly seated in the tension discs. Use a stabilizer appropriate for your fabric.
Adjust upper tension to be slightly looser. Ensure the bobbin tension is correct. Check that the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool.
Clean the bobbin area and feed dogs. Ensure no lint or debris is obstructing the mechanism. Re-thread the machine carefully.
