ordinary sewing thread?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaraflex is a highly elastic PBT sewing thread designed to create flexible seams. When correctly used as both needle and bobbin thread, a straight-stitched seam can achieve up to 80% stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I sew stretch fabric with a straight stitch?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Creating flexible straight-stitch seams on light to medium-weight jersey and elastic woven fabrics is Maraflex's central purpose. Always test the completed seam on your actual fabric first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo I need Maraflex in the bobbin too?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Gütermann specifies Maraflex as both the needle thread and bobbin thread. Using ordinary bobbin thread can limit the seam's intended elasticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich needle should I use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a Jersey, Stretch or Super Stretch Needle in size NM 70 to 80. Choose the needle type according to your fabric and test for clean stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat stitch length should I use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eGütermann recommends four stitches per centimetre for optimal seam elasticity. This is approximately a 2.5mm stitch length, although the final result should always be tested on the project fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eShould I reduce the thread tension?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Maraflex should be sewn with as little thread tension as practical while maintaining a balanced stitch. Start low and adjust only after testing both sides of the seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes Maraflex replace an overlocker?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaraflex lets a household sewing machine form elastic straight-stitch seams without an overlocker or coverstitch machine. It does not cut the seam allowance or automatically finish a fraying raw edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs this shirring elastic?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf150-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Maraflex is a fine elastic sewing thread for flexible seams. It is not the thick elastic thread used in a bobbin to gather fabric for shirring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow much thread is

class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth are fine Maraflex threads designed for highly elastic seams. This article 716936 is the industrial 1500m cone, making it better suited to frequent sewing and production. The 150m version is a convenient household spool for smaller projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use the 1500m cone on a domestic sewing machine?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eOften yes, provided your machine can follow a correct thread path from a large cone. Most household machines need a stable external cone stand placed behind the machine. Test the feed and tension before sewing the garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo I need Maraflex in the bobbin too?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Use Maraflex as both the needle thread and bobbin thread for the intended seam elasticity. Ordinary bobbin thread can limit how far the complete seam can stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich needle and stitch length should I use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a suitable Jersey, Stretch or Super Stretch Needle in size NM 70 to 80. Aim for four stitches per centimetre, approximately a 2.5mm stitch length, and test on the actual fabric layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eShould I reduce the thread tension?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Use as little tension as practical while still producing a balanced lockstitch. Excessive tension can reduce the thread reserve that lets the seam extend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes Maraflex replace an overlocker?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaraflex can form elastic straight-stitch seams without an overlocker or coverstitch machine. It does not cut the seam allowance or automatically finish a fraying raw edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs Maraflex the same as shirring elastic?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"dsmf1500-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Maraflex is a fine elastic machine-sewing thread for flexible seams.
