“There is no perfect thread for all applications, however there is a perfect thread for a specific application.”
American & Efird offers 'Threaducation' workshops that review the logic behind selecting the best thread for a specific application. This workshop is not about how we make thread but how to select the best thread type and size for a specific application. The information on this page is a summary of information covered in this hands-on workshop available for our customers.
We recommend that you use the following thread selection process to help you make best educated choice. The major criteria include:
Sewability
What type of sewing equipment will be used in the manufacturing of this sewn product?
Are there currently any issues with excessive interruptions due to thread breakage, skipped stitches and repairs that you would like to overcome?
Seam Performance
What seam performance specifications must be met to satisfy your customers? Minimum seam strength?
What special end-use requirements must be maintained?
Are you having any quality issues like excessive needle holes, open seams, ravel backs, or broken stitches?
Are you currently having any quality issues with customer returns, charge-backs, etc. that you would like to overcome?
