Sewing thread commonly used in work clothes; besides the sewing function, sewing thread also plays a decorative role. The amount and cost of Cotton Sewing Thread may not be a large part of the overall work clothes, but sewing efficiency, sewing quality and appearance quality are very important. What kind of fabric and what kind of thread to use under what circumstances is indeed a difficult thing to master. The workwear fabric itself has a great influence on the sewing condition. For example, some finely organized workwear fabrics, post-finished fabrics, and thinner and non-stretchable workwear fabrics.
Cotton and silk sewing threads are used for special purposes
Natural fibers are of course cotton and silk sewing threads. Cotton fiber sewing thread has good strength and excellent heat resistance, suitable for high-speed sewing and durable pressing, and its elasticity and wear resistance are slightly poor. In addition to ordinary soft threads, there are wax rays and mercerized silk rays after sizing and waxing of cotton threads. Wax rays are improved in strength and abrasion resistance, which reduces frictional resistance when sewing.
Suitable for sewing stiff and leather fabrics. The silk light texture is soft and shiny, the strength is also improved, and the hand feel is smooth and mostly used in high-end cotton products. Experts introduced that since the post-processing of cotton sewing thread by domestic related equipment has not reached the desired toughness, the cotton thread is still easy to break in the impression of people. Therefore, the scope of cotton thread is not very wide. Silk thread is better than cotton thread in terms of gloss, elasticity, strength and abrasion resistance, but it is obviously at a disadvantage in price. It is mainly suitable for sewing silk and high-end clothing, but its heat resistance and strength are lower than polyester filament thread. . Therefore, the commonly used polyester thread in synthetic fibers.
Polyester and polyester elastic threads are the most widely used
Polyester Sewing Thread is widely used in garment sewing of cotton fabric, chemical fiber and blended fabric due to its high strength, low shrinkage, abrasion resistance and good heat resistance. Sewing Polyester Thread has filament, short and polyester low elastic yarn. Among them, polyester staple fiber is mainly used to sew various types of cotton, polyester-cotton chemical fiber, wool and blended fabrics, and is currently the most widely used sewing thread. The most used in the sewing of knitted garments such as sportswear, underwear, and tights are elastic polyester low-elastic silk threads and nylon strong threads. In addition, the polyester and silk in the mixed fibers are better than pure polyester in terms of flexibility, gloss and toughness, so they are used in a wider range. The use of ultra-thin fabrics naturally requires polyester and nylon yarns.
Nylon and blended applications have great potential
Jinjue thread has good abrasion resistance, high strength, bright luster and good elasticity. Due to its slightly poor heat resistance, it is not suitable for high-speed sewing and high-temperature ironing fabrics. The commonly used nylon filament thread is suitable for the sewing of chemical fiber clothing and the button and lock button of various clothing. The application range of nylon and nylon monofilament is for some elastic fabrics, that is, fabrics with relatively high tension. Belt loops, cuff cuffs and hem topstitching on Chinese garments.
The blended yarns are mainly polyester-cotton blended and core-spun yarns. The polyester-cotton thread is made of polyester-cotton blend, and the ratio is about 65:35. This kind of thread has better wear resistance and heat resistance, and the thread quality is soft, and it is also suitable for sewing and edging of various cotton fabrics, chemical fibers and knitting. The core-spun thread is made of cotton on the outside and polyester on the inside. Because of this structure, the core thread has high strength, soft and elastic thread quality, and low shrinkage. It has the dual characteristics of cotton and polyester and is suitable for high-speed sewing of medium-thick fabrics. .
