Troubleshooting

Thread breakage during embroidery

Ensure you are using the recommended needle size (70-90). Check that the needle is inserted correctly and not bent or dull. Verify machine tension settings and ensure the thread path is clear of obstructions.

Skipped stitches

Confirm the use of the correct needle size and type for embroidery. Ensure the fabric is hooped correctly and not over-stabilized. Check for lint buildup around the needle plate and bobbin area.

Lack of shine or dull appearance

Verify that the correct side of the thread is facing outwards during embroidery if there's any perceived difference. Ensure lighting conditions allow the trilobal structure's shine to be visible; the thread itself is designed for brightness.

Color fading after washing

While rated for washing up to 60°C, extreme or repeated harsh washing conditions might affect vibrancy over time. Follow care instructions for best color retention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: For optimal performance, use a machine embroidery needle in the size range of 70 to 90. Ensure your machine is properly threaded with the Super Brite thread in the needle and a suitable bobbin thread. Test stitch tension on a scrap piece of the intended fabric before starting your project.

Compatibility: This thread is suitable for use on all types of materials and fabrics. It is specifically designed for machine embroidery but can also be used for decorative stitching in sewing machines that accept polyester threads.

Care: The thread and the embroidered items are washable up to 60 degrees Celsius. For best results, wash embroidered items inside out. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals that could degrade the thread's color or strength.
