ELASTIC Sewing Thread: Highly Elastic, Ideal for Smocking
ELASTIC sewing thread is highly elastic and perfect for smocking stretchy and solid fabrics. It can also be used to create ruffles on hems. ELASTIC sewing thread is best used as a bobbin thread in the sewing machine. To regulate the desired intensity of pucker, adjust the bobbin thread tension. Be sure to tack the seam beginning and end. Long lockstitches make it easier to sew with ELASTIC sewing thread. The ELASTIC sewing thread is 62% Elastane, 38% Polyester.
Here are some tips for using ELASTIC sewing thread:
- Use a universal sewing machine needle in size 80 / 12 or 90 / 14.
- Wind ELASTIC sewing thread onto the bobbin.

- Use a long stitch length.
- Sew slowly and carefully.
- Tack the seam beginning and end.
