Intro
Understanding thread quality is key to choosing the right sewing thread for a specific application. This overview explains the most important quality characteristics and what they mean in practice.
Short definition
Sewing thread quality characteristics describe the mechanical and functional properties that determine how a sewing thread performs during sewing and throughout the product's service life. Characteristics such as strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, lubrication and sewability influence seam quality, process reliability and product durability.
