How to use

Thread the spool onto your sewing machine according to the machine manufacturer's threading path, or use the thread directly for hand stitching. Select a needle size appropriate for polyester thread and the fabric weight; for medium-weight fabrics a universal needle size 80/12 is commonly suitable. Adjust tension and stitch length on the machine to achieve even, balanced stitches. When starting a long run, secure thread tails with a short backstitch or knot for handwork to prevent unraveling.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool in a dry, dust-free place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and reduce lint buildup. Test stitch on a fabric scrap before finishing the project to confirm tension and stitch appearance. For best results on heavy seams or thick layers, use a slightly heavier needle and consider slowing the machine feed speed to maintain stitch quality.
