Lingerie Thread

Ultra-fine Lingerie thread is extremely stretchy and is made of 100% nylon.

It is wound so that the fibers are tightly wound together increasing its strength and performance.

There are many uses for this thread, beyond lingerie. Those who try this thread-swear by it and so will you once you use it. Machine washable, bleach-able, dry clean-able and iron-safe, very strong-yet fine.

Whenever winding a bobbin with nylon thread-be sure to wind it at ½ speed. If your machine only winds at high speed, only wind your bobbin ½ full. Creative Feet, strongly recommends using  The Thread Dispenser whenever using nylon cones. We have found that winding nylon thread at high speed can make metal bobbins expand to twice their original size and plastic bobbins may become stuck on the bobbin winder. Do not place cones on sewing machine thread holder.

Whenever sewing trims on stretch fabrics, use invisible nylon thread in needle to prevent your thread form breaking as the garment stretches.

Each cone holds 1,200yds-be sure never to place nylon thread on your sewing machine thread holder. Nylon thread stretches, increasing your machine’s tension automatically therefore, you must reduce your thread tension by at least 2 #’s.
