Sewing thread and its types

SEWING THREAD

SEWING THREAD Sewing thread is a smooth, evenly spun,

hard twisted ply yarn, thread by a special finishing process to make it resistant to stresses in its passage through the eye of a needle and though the material involved in seaming and stitching operation.

Cotton/Cotton-PolyesterCommon thread choices of seam stresses High strength, durability and ease of useThey create a well-defined line of machine

stitchesTerm mercerized is often used with this

type of thread

100 Percent SilkOften chosen for its gorgeous sheen

most trouble-free threads to use for machine quilting

Strong and durable Do not stretch, and is similar to polyester

thread in that respect.

CONSTRUCTION AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Filament thread means that Z twist is applied to the thread after right twist (S twist) is applied to the filament i.e spun by melting and doubling of 2 to 3 filaments is performed

Spun thread means(Z twist) (second twist) is applied to the staple

(shortfiber)after doubling (first twist) of right twisted single yarn

and doubling of 2 to 3 yarns is performed

Wooly thread is a thread that doubling of these two yarns is performed and the twist

is applied. This thread is called filament expansion processed thread

Monofilament thread is just the same as long fiber that is spun

by melting and a long yarn without twist. In addition to sewing thread, this thread is

used for fishing thread or the like
