FAQs

What is the main advantage of this thread?

The main advantage is its brilliant shine, achieved through a special trilobal thread structure, combined with high durability and excellent stitching properties.

What needle size should I use with this thread?

It is recommended to use an embroidery needle size between 70 and 90.

Can this thread be used for hand embroidery?

While primarily designed for machine embroidery, it can be used for hand sewing, though its full potential, including the shine and smooth stitching, is best realized with machine use.

How resistant is the thread to washing?

The thread can be washed up to 60 degrees Celsius, maintaining its color and integrity.

Is this thread suitable for all fabrics?

Yes, it is suitable for all materials and fabrics, from light to heavy weights.

What does 'trilobal' mean in relation to the thread?

Trilobal refers to the triangular cross-section of the thread, which allows it to reflect light from multiple angles, creating its characteristic brilliant shine.

Troubleshooting

Thread breaking frequently

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.

Skipped stitches

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.

Dull appearance instead of shine

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.
