Babylock extra thick textured thread
Babylock extra thick textured thread is a specialized overlock thread that adds volume to sewing and makes finishes visible. It is particularly suitable for decorative rolled hems, wavy wave seams and soft edges on clothing and accessories. Its eye-catching appearance sets accents without being complicated to work with.
What is it suitable for?
The extra thick bulked yarn is ideal if you want to emphasize finishing edges or achieve decorative effects - for example on decorative edges of T-shirts, sweatshirts, loops or home textiles. On stretch fabrics such as jersey or lighter woven fabrics, it creates a soft, sculptural edge; on more stable fabrics, it can be used for decorative sewing.
How to process?
Because the thread is thicker than standard overlock thread, it is advisable to test it on a scrap of fabric before starting the project and to check the following settings if necessary:
- Reduce thread tension slightly until the sewing lies neatly.
- Adjust the stitch length so that the thread does not appear pinched.
- Use suitable needles and a suitable overlocker configuration.
- Experiment with different differential feeds to control the formation of waves.
What makes it special?
The special thing about this bulk thread is its visible structure: it provides volume and a soft, slightly springy feel at seam edges. This gives simple sewing a decorative character and finishing edges a high-quality look. At the same time, the thread can be used in a variety of ways - from functional rolled hems to creative decorations.
