YLI Threads Woolly Nylon – Serger Thread for Stretch & Knit Fabrics – White

Oh my goodness! Hand winding this onto a bobbin has revolutionized my stretch sewing. I can use twin needles on the hem of a spandex type of fabric and it comes out looking like store bought. Using regular thread in the bobbin for that type of fabric gives awful results period I'm so glad someone on Pinterest gave a tutorial on how to use the Wooly nylon thread

Wooley nylon gives a soft edging when used in a serger sewing machine. I make many polar fleece blankets and the edging is superb when Wooley nylon is used in the upper and lower loopers of the serger machine.

I first heard of "wooly thread" on Pinterest. It was recommended to help achieve better results when sewing with knits, to avoid stretched areas and so on, all the challenges you encounter when sewing with knits. Use the wooly thread in the bobbin, and regular thread in the top thread (needle). It worked perfectly the first time. Glad I bought it.

Haven't had a chance to use this yet, but I plan on using it to do some rolled hemming with my serger. They say it makes all the difference in the way a project looks.

If you're using a serger to fold over edges on fabric or need a serger stitch that will fill itself in then this stuff is the best. Its' strong, durable and gives consistent results. I've tried a few other brands but they aren't as good. It can be difficult to find a place that carries all colors so I just buy what I need online.

This is what you want to use, to sew stretch / knit fabrics! I use it ONLY in the bobbin - regular thread on top! Hand feed onto bobbin threader, as you allow it to wind very slowly, so it doesn't pull the stretch out tight. This allows me to sew using my standard machine, with a straight stitch (set a bit longer, maybe), and not worry about threads breaking. I also use a walking/ even feed foot, also a great investment for knits and quilting.

Used the stretch thread for fly tying trout flies.The volume of thread will last quite a while.

i purchased this to reinforce hand knit sock heels. it works like a dream. it is very fine and blends in with my yarn so well, nobody can tell it is there. now for the test of time. it should increase the life of the heels. i'm very pleased with my purchase.
