Combine the
strength of a
polyester core
with the
superior
sewability of a
high-lubricity
cotton wrap.
Result in a
thread that
creates, smooth
seams with great
looks
and natural
"give". Stand up
to high-speed
sewing, offering
high resistance
to needle
burn and
decreasing the
need for seam
repairs.

Comments |
Melts
when temperatures exceed 485°F.
Not as color-fast as 100% polyester threads.

*Soft refers to thread that
receives no further processing to change it's
general physical characteristics. It is dyed to
the proper shade and degree of color fastness,
wound on the proper size package, and lubricated
for sewability.
**Glaced
refers to a finish in which 100% cotton and some
cotton wrapped core threads are treated with
starches, waxes, and special chemicals under
controlled heat and then brushed or polished to
a high luster. The result is a glossy, hard
finish that protects the thread from abrasion
and enhances ply security during the sewing of
hard to penetrate fabrics. |
