Babylock uni textured thread
Babylock uni textured thread is a voluminous, soft overlock thread that emphasizes sewing edges and creates pretty, smooth seam patterns. It is particularly suitable for stretch fabrics such as jersey, sweat and rib knits if you want soft hems or decorative edges. As a solid color thread, it provides even color and structure without eye-catching shiny effects.
What is it suitable for?
The bulked yarn is ideal for overlocker and coverlock work where volume and grip are desired. It creates soft, pleasant finishes on necklines, hems and armholes and has a decorative effect on flatlock or decorative seams. If you like visible, textured sewing, use this thread to create deliberate accents.
How to process?
Preferably use the bulk thread in the hooks/loopers of your overlock machine and not as a needle thread. Combine it with a fine needle thread as needle thread, always do a sewing test and adjust the thread tension, stitch width and sewing speed if necessary. Slower sewing often ensures more even results.
Tips for hobby sewers
- Test on fabric remnants before the project: check tension, stitch pattern and thread compatibility.
- Use a suitable needle size and type for clean edges.
- If there are large differences in volume, work with a different thread tension in the hooks.
- Use fine needle threads for topstitching or work decoratively with the bulk thread in the visible area.
