Half-Speed Ahead!
by erika on September 24, 2009
This is a reminder of the importance of winding polyester thread at half speed.
Unlike with cotton thread, If you wind your bobbin too quickly with polyester thread, the thread can stretch, crimping the bobbin and over-tightness will affect your tension.
As an aside from the service desk, we have seen sewing machines with the bobbin crimped to the winder itself! If this should happen to you, the only thing you can do is unwind the thread completely, and toss out the bobbin. It will have deformed under the pressure and won't work well in your bobbin case.
We sell two types of bobbin thread for embroidery. One is a polyester by Sulky which comes in black and white. The other is YLI Softouch, a cotton bobbin thread that comes in a varied range of 20 - 24 colours. Both are quality threads, meeting the needs of all our embroidery sewers.
