Materials:
- Polyester: The most common material for overlocking threads due to its strength, durability, and resistance to shrinking and fading. It works well on various fabrics.
- Cotton: Ideal for natural fiber projects, providing a softer finish. However, it may not be as durable as polyester.
- Nylon: Offers excellent elasticity and strength, making it suitable for stretch fabrics.
- Blends: Some threads combine polyester and cotton for a balanced performance, offering the best of both worlds.
Features:
- High Tenacity: Overlocking threads are designed to withstand tension and friction, preventing breakage during sewing.
- Smooth Finish: They provide a smooth feeding through the machine, reducing the chances of snags and ensuring a professional finish.
- Colorfastness: Most overlocking threads are colorfast, meaning they won’t fade easily with washing or exposure to sunlight.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a variety of fabrics, including knits, wovens, and more, making them a versatile choice for any sewing project.
Types of Threads for Overlocking:
- Standard Overlocking Thread: Usually polyester or a polyester blend, these are designed specifically for use in overlock machines.
- Heavyweight Thread: For heavier fabrics, using a thicker thread can provide additional strength and durability.
- Stretch Thread: Ideal for knits and stretch fabrics, providing the necessary flexibility without breaking.
- Specialty Threads: These can include metallic or textured threads for decorative overlocking on certain projects.
When selecting overlocking threads, it's essential to consider the fabric type and desired outcome to ensure the best results.
