KORBOND 110M INVISIBLE SMOKE & CLEAR NYLON THREAD, PACK OF 2

How to Use Korbond Invisible Smoke and Clear Nylon Thread

Materials Needed

• Korbond Invisible Smoke and Clear Nylon Thread
• Needle suitable for nylon thread
• Fabric or item to be sewn
• Scissors
• Optional: Sewing machine

Preparation

1. Choose between the smoke or clear nylon thread based on the color of the fabric you are working with. The smoke thread is ideal for darker fabrics, while the clear thread is better for lighter fabrics.
2. Cut a length of thread appropriate for your sewing project. It’s always a good idea to cut slightly more than you think you’ll need.
3. If hand sewing, thread the needle with the selected nylon thread and tie a knot at the end.
4. If using a sewing machine, consult your machine’s manual for threading instructions specific to nylon thread.

Sewing by Hand

1. Insert the needle into the fabric at the starting point of your seam or repair.
2. Use a simple running stitch or backstitch to sew the pieces together, maintaining even tension on the thread to avoid puckering.
3. Continue stitching until you reach the end of your seam. Secure the thread with a knot and trim any excess thread.

Sewing by Machine

1. Ensure your machine is properly threaded with the nylon thread.
2. Set your machine to a suitable stitch type, such as a straight stitch, and adjust the tension settings for nylon thread.
3. Begin sewing slowly, guiding the fabric carefully to ensure even stitches.
4. Once complete, secure the end of the thread and trim any excess.

Tips for Success

• Practice on a scrap piece of fabric to get a feel for the thread before starting your actual project.
• Use a sharp needle to prevent snagging or breaking of the thread.
• Consider using a thimble when hand sewing to protect your fingers.
