INCREASE YOUR SEWING PLEASURE

THREAD

1- Select the correct size of thread for the material you are sewing.

NOTE; The right size and weight can quickly be determined by

pulling a thread from the material and matching the spool

of thread with it.

Use the same kind and weight of thread for both upper and

bobbin thread.

Avoid winding new thread over a partially wound bobbin.

Use silk thread on woolens •••mercerized thread on fine cottons

and synthetics........ cotton thread on heavy materials, such as

denims, work shirts, canvas, ticking, strong linens, slip covers, etc.

NOTE: Most cotton materials are preshrunk and it is wise to use

preshrunk thread when sewing on preshrunk materials for

the thread may shrink when laundered, causing the seam

to pucker.

Bright colored thread is weaker than white or neutral colors.

Allow for this and use slightly larger thread size.

Proper attention to the selection of proper thread weight or size will

cause the stitches to "blend” into the material.
