For invisible seams.
Continuous polyester thread is ideal for concealed seams and hemming seams, as well as micro-overlock seams in lightweight fabrics.
The thread is translucent, which makes it compatible with other fabric colors and eliminates the need for frequent thread color changes.
Product advantages:
- Saving money on the purchase of thread due to fewer color changes
- Excellent adaptability
- Invisible seam
Skala 360 is an ultra-thin monofilament polyester thread with unique transparency and minimal visibility in the finished seam. It is used in industrial sewing for hidden operations, as well as a hemming and decorative thread when a visually “disappearing” seam is required.
The thread diameter is so small that it is almost invisible on the surface of the material, regardless of its color. At the same time, the thread demonstrates excellent strength characteristics, resistance to abrasion and chemical influences, while maintaining stable operation at high speeds.
Advantages
1. Almost complete invisibility
Thanks to its thin diameter and transparency, the thread literally merges with the material, leaving the line almost invisible. It is an ideal choice for light fabrics, transparent materials and decorative elements.
2. Versatility
Skala 360 is suitable for various materials: from chiffon, organza and cambric to synthetic fabrics, lace and mesh. It is used as an upper and lower thread in industrial sewing, suitable for hemming, overlock and blind stitching.
3. Strength and reliability
Despite its small diameter, Skala 360 is resistant to tension, abrasion and chemical exposure. This makes it a reliable solution even for products that undergo intensive use or frequent washing.
4. High sewing speed
The thread is optimized for use on high-speed industrial machines. It does not tear or overheat, even during long-term continuous operation, which is especially important in the conditions of serial production.
5. Ease of use
Skala 360 has a low coefficient of friction and passes well through the machine guides. Thanks to this, the thread does not twist, does not get stuck and forms a clean line.
