If you're like us your sewing room includes a serger as well as your embroidery machine. In our shop we have three sergers that are used almost daily for various tasks. We wouldn't be without our supply of Polyarn. Here's why...
Polyarn, from Superior Threads, is the ideal alternative to woollie-like nylon thread for your serger. Polyarn is 100% polyester thread that is heat resistant and will withstand ironing. That’s a big plus in my book, but there is much more to Polyarn than its ability to withstand heat. Here’s what Superior says about Polyarn:
An exciting new texturized thread designed for sewing on polar fleece, knits, and stretch fabrics. Polyarn has the bulk, elasticity and flexibility popularized by "woollie-type" nylon, but has several important added features. Made with a new process, this thread is constructed of mircofibers producing an uncommonly soft and consistently uniform thread for even, smooth seams. Extremely colorfast, Polyarn can be laundered commercially without fading. It is equally resistant to chlorine which makes this the natural choice for children's clothing as well as swimming and active wear. The additional concern of "yellowing" associated with weathering and aging in some nylon products is also avoided. Polyarn has a higher temperature resistance than nylon products so ironing worries are gone forever. Available in 36 beautiful colors.
Nylon thread has very little heat resistance and will melt if ironed. We’ve actually experienced this problem first hand. Without realizing the consequences we inadvertently ironed a seam that had been serged with nylon thread. Needless to say the mess that resulted was not a pleasant site.
Since then Polyarn has been our serger thread of choice. We no longer have to worry about heat and we love the full, nicely finished look it provides. In fact, we like it so much we are now carrying the full line of Polyarn on our web site.
Polyarn is available in 36 different colors. If you’d like to try Polyarn for yourself stop by and order some today. We’re confident you’ll love it as much as we do!
