How to use lock thread

An overlock machine with the perfect results needs not only skill, but also the right lock thread. Of course, you may also use sewing thread. In fact, for sewing thread, some threads are excellent.

You can recognize lock thread at first sight. Namely, by the rolls. Unlike sewing thread, they have a conical shape. In addition, the rolls are thicker. Lock thread differs from normal sewing thread in several ways. By comparison, it is thinner - For this reason, it is also less tear-resistant. Indeed, the processing method provides the necessary stretching and tear resistance to the seams. Therefore, the sewing result owes its durability to a loop. You can buy lock thread made of cotton, as well as mixed fibers or polyester. In turn, the thickness of the fibers also affects the durability.

The yarn spool does need to be straight and firm on the pin, and the opening at the bottom is a little wider, so the yarn is more stable on the spool and unwinds smoothly. If the spool is not positioned properly then this can cause problems.
