Recommendations for use
To achieve the best results when sewing with Mara 30 thread, it is important to consider the following tips:
- Choosing the right needle
Use needles No. 110 – 130 depending on the density and layering of the material. This will ensure that the thread passes through the fabric smoothly and that the stitching is stable. - Adjusting the Tension
Considering the thickness of the thread, it is necessary to carefully adjust the tension of the upper and lower threads. - Testing on a sample
Before the main stitch, test the result on a piece of fabric to avoid problems when sewing the product. - Using the right bobbin thread
In some cases, Mara 30 can be used in a bobbin, but more often a thinner thread (for example, Mara 120) is used for this purpose to avoid excess volume in the seam. - Keeping the equipment clean
Although the thread produces a minimum of dust, when used at industrial speeds it is important to regularly clean the sewing machine machine.
