For outfits made of jersey and stretch, to fit perfectly they need elastic seams. Maraflex allows for extra stretchiness – and the clothes move with you. It creates elastic seams using straight stitch easily – without an overlock or coverlock sewing machine. With a seam stretch of up to 80% this sewing thread is particularly flexible. It is perfect for sewing light to medium weight knitwear and elastic woven fabrics, such as jersey or fabrics with elastane. Maraflex is always used in combination as a needle thread and bobbin thread and is sewn with low thread tension. This allows the seams to expand optimally at a later stage. Trimming is no longer necessary on non-fraying fabrics. 150m x 5 reels per box.
