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.

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.
