Gütermann Toldi-Lock Serger Wire - 2,500 m - Red - No. 4580

Features

This100% polyester overlock yarnis presented in2,500 m cone, enough to assemble many garments without changing the coil. It corresponds to theSize No. 120: the higher the number, the finer the thread, which gives soft and thin overlocks, without extra thickness on the edges. Polyester provides a good consistency of yarn, useful at the high speeds of a serger.

Directions for use

• On a red fabric, a thread of the same shade makes the seam invisible; on an unbleached or black fabric, it creates a deliberate decorative border.
• Before sewing, test on a drop to adjust the tension: an overlock that pulls or gathers often comes from a thread that is too tight.
• When changing colors, cut the yarn near the cone and tie the new yarn to the old one, then gently pull into the loopers.
• For a ruffle or a rolled overlock tablecloth edge, this red stands out clearly on a light linen or cotton.

Pair this cone with suitable serger needles and red polyester sewing thread for assembly seams.
