Machine and needle guidance
Set up for Ticket 120 / Tex 27
Moon technical information recommends metric 70 to 80 needles for Ticket 120. The final needle point and size depend on the fabric, seam construction and machine.
- Suitable for compatible industrial lockstitch machines, overlockers and coverstitch machines.
- Many domestic machines can use Tex 27 thread, but a separate cone stand may be needed for the 5000m cone.
- Choose a suitable universal, sharp or ball-point needle for the fabric.
- Balance upper, looper and bobbin tensions before beginning production.
- Test the complete seam on an offcut of the actual fabric.
For garment and general sewing: Moon is not a bonded upholstery, leather or marine thread. Select a purpose-specific bonded thread for high-stress or exposed outdoor applications.
