Maraflex is ideal for projects requiring stretch, such as t-shirts, leggings, cuffs, and necklines, especially when using knit or elastic fabrics.
Use a Jersey/Stretch needle in size 70/80 for optimal results.
Maraflex works best with light to medium-weight knitwear and elastic woven fabrics containing elastane.
You can wash the garments at 60 degrees Celsius, bleach them, tumble dry on medium, iron hot, and dry clean with any solvent except trichloroethylene.
Use a straight stitch and aim for 4 stitches per centimeter for the best elasticity.
Using minimal tension is crucial to allow the thread to stretch and prevent the seams from breaking.
MCT stands for Micro Core Technology. It is used in the manufacturing process to create a high-quality, durable thread.
Reduce thread tension. Check for any obstructions in your machine and ensure you are using the correct needle type (Jersey/Stretch).
Ensure you are using the correct stitch length (4 stitches per centimeter). Check that the thread is properly threaded through your machine and that tension is minimal.
