1. The unique charm of colored high-strength sewing thread
Colored high-strength sewing thread is usually made of high-quality synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon, etc.), which give the sewing thread excellent physical properties, such as high breaking strength, good wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Compared with traditional cotton or silk threads, colored high-strength sewing threads can maintain bright colors while maintaining stable performance during long-term use, and are not easy to fade or break.
2. Choose sewing thread according to fabric type
Fabric is the basis of sewing, and choosing the right sewing thread is crucial to ensure the sewing effect.
Light fabrics: For light fabrics such as silk, thin cotton, lace, etc., you should choose thin and soft sewing threads, such as 60s/2 or thinner polyester threads. This type of stitching is delicate and not easy to leave obvious marks on the fabric, while ensuring the softness and comfort of the sewn objects.
Medium-thick fabrics: such as cotton, linen, and synthetic fiber blends, are suitable for medium-thick sewing threads, such as 40s/2 or 50s/2. These threads can provide sufficient strength to support the fabric without destroying the natural texture of the fabric due to being too thick.
Heavy fabrics: Heavy fabrics such as denim, leather, and canvas require high-strength, wear-resistant sewing threads, such as 20s/3 or 150D/3 high-strength polyester threads. These threads can resist friction and tension between fabrics and ensure the structural stability of the sewn objects.
3. Consider sewing techniques and styles
Sewing techniques and styles are also factors that cannot be ignored when choosing sewing threads.
Hand sewing and home sewing machines: For hand sewing or home sewing machines, delicate and easy-to-operate sewing threads are more popular, such as 60s/2 or 40s/2 polyester threads. They are easy to pass through the needle eye and are not easy to knot, which is suitable for delicate hand sewing.
Industrial sewing: Industrial sewing machines are fast and require higher strength and wear resistance of sewing threads. Therefore, high-strength polyester or nylon thread becomes the first choice for colored high-strength sewing thread, such as 20s/3 high-strength polyester thread, which can withstand the friction and tension during high-speed sewing, ensuring production efficiency and sewing quality.
Special sewing techniques: such as embroidery, embroidery, etc., need to choose colored sewing thread that matches the color of the pattern to enhance the visual effect. At the same time, these techniques often require delicate stitches, so thin and moderately strong sewing threads should be selected.
4. The art of color matching
Color is one of the most intuitive and attractive elements in sewing works. Choosing the right color can not only enhance the visual beauty of the work, but also express the designer's emotions and creativity.
Basic colors: Basic colors such as black, white, and gray are suitable for various sewing projects. They can match most fabrics to create a simple and generous style.
Bright colors: Bright colors such as red, blue, and yellow can add vitality and highlights to sewing works, and are suitable for occasions that require a lively atmosphere, such as children's clothing and home decoration.
Color matching principles: Following the basic principles of color matching, such as contrasting colors, adjacent colors, complementary colors, etc., can create harmonious and layered sewing works.
5. Brand and quality selection
There are many brands of colored high-strength sewing threads on the market, and the quality varies. Choosing a well-known brand and a reputable supplier is the key to ensuring the quality of sewing threads. High-quality sewing threads should have the characteristics of uniform color, smooth stitches, and high strength, which can meet the needs of different sewing projects.
