For invisible seams.
Continuous polyester thread is ideal for high-quality cutting edges of delicate fabrics, as well as for blind seams and security seams.
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
Modern sewing production requires not only strength from threads, but also delicacy. This is especially true when working with light, thin or elastic fabrics, where it is important to maintain the softness of the seam, prevent damage to the material and ensure impeccable aesthetics.
Advantages
1. Ultra-thin structure
Tera 180 is one of the thinnest threads in the Gütermann range. Thanks to its microfibrated structure, it creates virtually invisible seams, ideal for underwear, lightweight fabrics and transparent materials.
2. Softness and delicacy
The thread does not irritate the skin, does not scratch or rub. Therefore, it is ideal for products that come into contact with the body — underwear, sportswear, sleepwear and children’s clothing.
3. Resistance to wear and washing
Despite its thinness, this thread has high tensile strength and is resistant to repeated washing, ironing and dry cleaning. It does not lose color, does not fade under the influence of UV rays and retains its properties even after dozens of care cycles.
4. Ideal for high-speed industrial sewing
The thread works without breakage at speeds up to 5000 stitches per minute. Suitable for most industrial sewing machines, including overlocks, coverstitch machines and automatic complexes.
5. Cleanliness of the line
The Tera 180 thread does not fluff, does not deform and provides a perfectly even line even on the thinnest fabrics, due to which the seam looks aesthetically pleasing and neat.
