There has been a huge jump in interest for Overlocking Thread<\/a>.\u00a0We are delighted that whatever your thread requirement we have an extensive range and will be able to help.<\/p>\n

With this in mind we are pleased to provide a brief breakdown of two of the core overlocking threads<\/a> and why you would want to use the various options.<\/p>\n

Full Overlocking Thread Range<\/a><\/p>\n

\"120s<\/a>T120s General Purpose Overlocking Thread<\/h2>\n

General Purpose Overlocking Thread<\/a> is exactly what it says on the tin. It is a fine, smooth, relatively strong thread designed to run superbly at high speeds and can be used on both the overlocker needle or looper.<\/p>\n

This all rounder is available on 250m & 1000m bobbins and also a 7500m thread cone. The 7500m are particularly popular as overlocking consumes much more thread than \u2018standard\u2019 sewing and therefore the economy & time saving aspect of a larger cone is often preferred.<\/p>\n

General Purpose Overlocking Thread Range<\/a><\/p>\n

So with such a great all rounder why would I want any other thread? For different effects!<\/p>\n

\"Sewing<\/a>80s Bulk Thread \/ Woolly Nylon Overlocking Thread<\/h2>\n

You will often hear these terms referred to in conjunction with overlocking. Don\u2019t get confused they are one and the same thread! The terms are used interchangeably with \u201880s Bulk<\/a>\u2018 being the industrial name and ‘Woolly Nylon<\/a>‘ being more of a colloquial term. Full Info can be found on the\u00a0Woolly Nylon<\/a>\/80s Bulk Thread<\/a> pages or in the dedicated Threads In Focus Article.<\/p>\n

What Is This Thread For?<\/h4>\n

80s Bulk<\/a> (or Woolly Nylon<\/a>) is designed to spread & \u2018fluff\u2019 out as it passes through the machine process. This spreading effect creates complete seam or raw edge coverage \u2013 this is ideal for knitted fabrics such as lycras \u2013 essential to stop any fraying.\u00a0The finish is also soft, making it ideal for the inside of clothing particularly items that will be in contact with skin \u2013 for this very reason it is used extensively in\u00a0lingerie,\u00a0babywear & nightwear.<\/p>\n

More practically it is used in furnishings, upholstery \u2026. i.e. in cushions an inner raw edge & stops fraying. Plus it can also create a contrast edge on the outside of a garment e.g. a duvet cover, dancewear \u2013 a pale fabric can be overlocked with a darker thread to give a decorative finish and vice versa. With regard to another of it\u2019s core industrial purposes bulk is perfect for providing complete seam coverage on knitted fabrics such as lycras \u2013 essential to stop any fraying.<\/p>\n

Available on 1000m bobbins or 5000m cone in 90 shades we are sure to have the perfect Bulk Overlocking Thread<\/a> for your project.<\/p>\n
