Mercerized Cotton
Posted on Thursday, June 18th, 2009 at 8:12 pmWhat is a good 100% cotton thread to use when sewing stretch knit fabrics?
I am looking to find a good 100% cotton thread to use when sewing garments from stretch knits. A book I have states that stretch knits should be sewed using thread that has stretch such as long staple polyester or textured threads. I can't use polyester thread since I will be dying the garments after they are completed, and I can't find textured cotton thread on serger cones anywhere (I can only find mercerized cotton). Any thoughts? Does anyone know where I can find textured cotton thread, or would I be ok using mercerized cotton??
Make a sample using the cotton - buy one spool and wind a bobbin and stitch on the sewing machine. Dye, and then you be the judge.
