XTREME PRO (outdoor thread)
XTREME PRO (outdoor thread) is designed for sewing jobs that need to last: weatherproof outer seams, robust upholstery and heavy-duty joins. This outdoor thread offers high abrasion resistance and resistance to UV and moisture, ensuring that sewing remains reliable even in harsh conditions. For hobby sewers, this means long-lasting results and less reworking.
What is the outdoor thread suitable for?
Outdoor yarn is ideal for projects such as tents, awnings, rucksacks, outdoor clothing, boat upholstery and covers. It also provides the necessary stability for repairs to tarpaulins or for sewing belt connections. If you need weatherproof, tear-resistant sewing, this thread is a reliable choice.
Processing tips
- Machine: Use robust sewing machines or industrial needles, test needle size and thread tension in advance on leftover material.
- Needles: Denim or universal needles in sizes 90-100 are recommended for thick layers of fabric; choose higher sizes for very thick material.
- Stitches: Slightly longer stitch length can reduce fraying and make sewing smoother; consider double stitching or zigzag stitches for safety seams.
- Accessories: Walking foot or topstitch presser foot make sewing multi-layered fabrics easier; sew samples in advance and check thread/needle combination.
What makes this thread special?
Compared to standard sewing threads, the outdoor thread scores points for its resistance to weathering and abrasion. It retains its seam strength even under frequent stress, which means that sewn parts remain functional for longer. Its stability also makes it suitable for visible, decorative sewing that also needs to be resilient.
Color selection, thread thickness and intended use should be tailored to your project. Try the thread on a sample and ask if you are unsure - your Stoffschwester will be happy to advise you on thread quality, needle selection and suitable sewing techniques to ensure your outdoor project is a success.
