Sewing thread Brother Aerolock / Madeira 8111, polyester overlock thread, 2000 m spool

Brother Aerolock / Madeira 8111 polyester overlock thread on a 2000 m spool is designed for serging and edge finishing on overlock and coverstitch machines. The long spool length reduces the need for frequent thread changes, while the polyester composition offers balanced strength and slight elasticity suitable for garment construction, stretch seams and household textiles. The thread is intended for high-speed use and provides consistent feed and seam quality when properly threaded and tensioned.

Advantages

This polyester overlock thread delivers uniform thickness and low variation, helping to maintain even stitch formation at high machine speeds. The 2000 m spool reduces downtime by extending run time between replacements. Polyester fibers resist shrinking and are colorfast when washed under normal conditions, providing durable seams for frequently laundered items. The thread is compatible with standard overlock and coverstitch needles and feeds smoothly through loopers and presser feet when machine settings are adjusted for overlock use.

Suitable for

• Serging garment seams and finishing raw edges
• Producer and hobbyist overlocking on knit and woven fabrics
• Coverstitch hems and stretch seam applications
• Home textiles such as pillowcases, curtains and table linens
• Light industrial sewing where long spool length is required

How to use

Install the spool on the machine’s thread stand or holder and thread according to the overlocker’s threading path, ensuring correct looper and needle assignment. Adjust tension and differential feed as needed for the fabric type and stitch style. Test on a fabric scrap to verify stitch balance, seam elasticity and stitch length before sewing the main project. Replace the spool when thread supply nears depletion to avoid uneven feed or breakage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match needle size and type to the fabric (for example, ballpoint needles for knits), use appropriate stitch settings for edge finish or coverstitching, and store spools in a dry, dust-free environment to maintain thread quality.
