Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use this to strengthen the heels and toes of hand knitted socks?

I haven't tried it for sock reinforcement myself, but I know a few knitters who have and love it. Because it is wound very tightly on the spool and thus stretched, I recommend winding off what you will need and letting it relax for a few minutes before knitting with it so that it can better match the stretch of your sock yarn.

In the picture, all of the threads are on spools, but the black thread image is just a black rectangle. Is the blackon a spool like the others? Is that all I need?

A spool holds the thread. Everything is as expected, with the seller shipping quickly and carefully packaging the thread. Enjoy!

Is there any stretch to it?

When serger is used. Woolly is used because it stretches a little.

Do you use wooly nylon for needles as well as loopers, or just loopers?

I only use it to sew loopers, and it does a fantastic job.

Also applicable to sewing machines
5/5

When used in the bobbin, it is ideal for sewing swimsuits and other four-way stretch knits. On the top, use a poly thread. br>It's difficult to thread onto a bobbin; simply spray the end with hairspray and pull it tight to dry before threading. It is also possible to use glue. I wind it with the bobbin winder on my machine. It works perfectly. br>I wasn't sure what to expect when I first bought it because it looks like regular thread on the spool until you pull some of it out. After that, it appears to be a pantyhose run. That's normal, and it appears to be the way it should look.

Serger thread constantly breaks, and it does not work
3/5

This didn't work at all in my Serger/overlock machine; I only used it for the upper and lower loopers, and even though I re-programmed the machine, it still didn't work. The looper threads (this stuff) keep snapping even after I've threaded the machine several times. This has never been the case with the Maxi- Stretch the thread cones and lock them in place. I'm going to order some more of those in the future. Spending your two hours of sewing time undoing half-sewn seams and threading a machine is not my idea of fun, so this will be tossed.

This is what I use as a bobbin thread when I use a double needle to sew
5/5

When using a double needle, it was suggested that I use the Wooly Nylon Thread as bobbin thread. I had no idea how important thread was until now. I'm also going to use it as bobbin thread for my embroidery machine. Excellent value for money.

When used with a double needle, it's fantastic
5/5

I'd been sewing with knits for a few months and was dissatisfied with the hems on the t-shirts I'd made. I was knitting with a double needle, and the knit kept forming a tunnel between the two stitching lines. When sewing with a double needle, I read somewhere that you should use woolly nylon thread in the bobbin. I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Even in super-thin knit fabrics, my hems now lay (almost) flat.

That's exactly what you've been looking for! To sew stretch / knit fabrics, this is what you'll need! Only in the bobbin do I use it
5/5

on top of the regular thread! Hand feed onto bobbin threader while winding slowly enough that the stretch isn't pulled out too tight. This means I can sew on my regular machine with a straight stitch (perhaps set a little longer) and not worry about threads breaking. A walking/even feed foot, which is also a great investment for knits and quilting, is another tool I use.

This is complete garbage
3/5

This is a total waste of time. It bunches up like floss and makes threading a serger impossible.

Oh my goodness, what a fantastic product! My stretch sewing has been transformed since I wound this onto a bobbin by hand
5/5

I can use twin needles to finish the hem of a spandex fabric and it looks like it came from the store. For that type of fabric, regular thread in the bobbin produces terrible results. I'm so glad someone on Pinterest shared a tutorial on how to use Wooly nylon thread.

I really like this serger thread
4/5

I really like this thread for my serger, but threading it without a tool is impossible. To pull it through the eye of the needles, I make a loop out of regular thread.
