Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with the Madeira Burmilon Unterfaden, ensure your machine's bobbin case is clean and free of lint. When winding, maintain a steady, moderate speed to prevent over-stretching the thread. This thread is compatible with all standard domestic sewing machine bobbin types, including metal and plastic class 15 or drop-in style bobbins. To maintain the integrity of your thread, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the fibers over time.
