Tips for working with E 151 threads

To achieve the best results when sewing with structured thread, it is important to follow a few recommendations:

• Choose the correct thread tension — textured threads require more precise adjustment, especially when working with elastic fabrics.
• Use the right needles — choose ball point needles for knitwear to avoid damaging the fabric.
• Combine with other Gutermann threads — to reinforce the seam, use E 151 in the lower looper, and use a stronger thread, such as Mara 120, in the upper thread.
• Make test stitches – before sewing the main product, test the thread on scraps of fabric to accurately adjust the tension and stitch density.
