Details: Cotton sewing threads are special kinds of yarns that are engineered and designed to pass through a sewing machine rapidly. They form efficient stitches without breaking or becoming distorted during the useful life of the product. The usage of thread made from natural substrates is now minimal in industry applications. However, the most commonly used natural thread is cotton thread. The basic function of a cotton thread is to deliver aesthetics and performance in stitches and seams. Cotton thread used in garments must be durable enough to withstand the abrasion and needle heat that occur while sewing, garment finishing, stretching and recovery during wear. Colour, lustre and fineness / thickness should be considered while selecting a cotton thread for decorative purposes such as top stitching or embroidery. Other considerations includes : ● Hue and shade matching ● Colour fastness ● Stitch selection ● Uniformity of stitch formation
