Sewing thread Brother Alterfil Bright Orange 1000 m, size 120

Brother Alterfil Bright Orange sewing thread on a 1000 m spool, size 120, is a fine, smooth polyester thread designed for machine and hand sewing. It is intended for lightweight to medium-weight fabrics and provides consistent tension and even feed for accurate, neat stitches. The bright orange colour is suitable for visible seams, decorative topstitching and instances where colour matching and durability are important.

Advantages

The thread delivers uniform strength and minimal lint, reducing machine stoppages and maintaining stitch quality. Its fine size 120 diameter enables delicate, unobtrusive seams and precise decorative work while still offering good seam durability. The long 1000 m spool reduces the need for frequent changes during larger projects.

Suitable for

• Garment construction on lightweight and medium fabrics
• Quilting and patchwork where fine thread is preferred
• Decorative topstitching and visible seams in matching or contrasting bright orange

How to use

Thread the spool into your sewing machine or cut an appropriate length for hand sewing according to your project. Use a needle compatible with fine threads and adjust machine tension and stitch length for lightweight to medium fabrics to avoid puckering. For topstitching or visible seams, test on a scrap of the same fabric to confirm stitch appearance and thread tension before working on the main piece.

Usage recommendations

Store the spool away from direct sunlight and dust to preserve colour and reduce lint. Replace needles regularly when using fine thread to prevent breakage and maintain smooth stitching. For optimal results on very lightweight fabrics, reduce presser foot pressure and use a fine needle size.
