FAQs

What is the primary advantage of using silk thread?

The primary advantage is its luxurious feel, natural fine gloss, and smooth texture, which significantly enhance the appearance and quality of finished sewing projects.

Can I use this thread for all my sewing projects?

While versatile for many applications, it's best suited for projects where quality and aesthetics are prioritized. For very heavy-duty tasks or items that undergo extreme stress, a stronger synthetic thread might be more appropriate.

What needle size and type do you recommend?

We recommend using a Universal needle in size 80 for optimal performance with this silk thread.

How should I care for items sewn with this thread?

Items can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying. Iron on a moderately hot setting.

Is this thread suitable for machine embroidery?

Yes, it is suitable for fine ornamental stitches and decorative seams, including some machine embroidery applications where a subtle sheen and natural fiber are desired.

What does 'tear and abrasion resistant' mean for this thread?

It means the thread is strong and durable, able to withstand pulling forces without breaking easily and resist wear from friction during use and washing.

Can I use this thread for sewing buttons?

Yes, this thread is suitable for sewing on buttons, providing a secure and aesthetically pleasing attachment.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Ensure you are using the recommended size 80 Universal needle. Check that the needle is sharp and correctly inserted. Verify that the machine tension is not too tight for the silk thread and fabric. Clean any lint buildup in the bobbin and tension discs.

Uneven stitches or skipped stitches

Check for burrs or damage on the needle. Ensure the thread is feeding smoothly from the spool. Re-thread the machine completely, making sure the presser foot is up when threading the top thread. Clean the bobbin case and check thread path for obstructions.

Losing color or sheen after washing

Confirm that the item was washed according to the care instructions (40 degrees, no bleach). While this thread is colorfast and light-resistant, improper washing can affect its appearance. Test on a swatch if unsure.
