Trilobal refers to the triangular cross-section of the thread, which allows it to reflect light from multiple angles, creating its characteristic brilliant shine.
Ensure you are using the recommended needle size (70-90). Check machine tension settings and ensure the thread path is clean and free of burrs. Use a quality sewing machine oil if necessary.
Verify the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent. Try a new needle. Check that the bobbin thread is wound correctly and the bobbin case is clean.
Confirm that the correct side of the thread is facing the fabric. Ensure your machine tension is not too tight, which can flatten the thread. Use the recommended needle size for optimal stitch formation.
Setup:
For optimal results, use a needle size between 70 and 90. Ensure your machine is properly threaded and tension is adjusted according to your embroidery machine's manual. It is recommended to test stitch settings on a scrap piece of fabric before starting your main project.
Compatibility:
This thread is suitable for use with all standard embroidery machines and is compatible with a wide range of materials and fabrics, from delicate silks to robust denims.
Care:
To maintain the thread's quality and the integrity of your embroidery, wash items at temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Iron on a medium setting if necessary, avoiding direct contact with the embroidery if possible.
