This thread is specifically designed for overlock (serger) and coverlock machines.
It is recommended for medium to heavy weight fabrics.
The thread is made from 100% polyester.
Each spool contains 1,000 meters of thread.
The recommended needle size is NM 70-90.
Garments sewn with this thread can be machine washed up to 60 degrees Celsius and ironed on a medium setting.
No, this thread is specifically formulated for the specialized stitch types and tensions found on overlock and coverlock machines.
Ensure the thread is correctly threaded through all guides and loopers/needles. Adjust tension settings on your machine; a common cause is tension being too tight or too loose. Check that you are using the recommended needle size (NM 70-90) and that it is not damaged or bent.
Verify that the thread is not snagged or caught on anything. Check the needle for sharpness and correct size; a dull or incorrect needle can cause thread breakage. Reduce machine speed if sewing very thick layers and ensure tension is not excessively tight.
This thread is designed to be bulky; if a softer finish is desired for lighter fabrics, consider a finer weight thread. For the intended use, ensure your overlock machine's differential feed is adjusted correctly for the fabric type to manage stretch and prevent waviness.
Setup: Thread your overlock or coverlock machine according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the Bulky Lock 80 thread is correctly placed in the appropriate looper or needle positions for your desired stitch. Adjust tension settings as needed for your specific fabric and machine; a recommended starting point for medium weight fabrics is often slightly looser on loopers and tighter on needles, but experimentation is key.
Compatibility: This thread is designed for use with overlock (serger) and coverlock machines. It is suitable for medium to heavy weight fabrics, including knits, jerseys, denim, and upholstery fabrics.
Care: Machine washable up to 60 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to tumble dry on low or line dry. Iron on a medium setting.
