Seam softness you can feel—Or rather, can't!
The use of different threads for needle, hook, and bobbin can affect the properties of the seam. When Alterfil S is combined with Alterfil C, it creates a seam that balances strength and comfort. This combination makes it feel as if there is almost no seam at all – perfect for garments that require both durability and a seamless feel
- Soft Seams: Combining Alterfil S as the needle thread with Alterfil C as both the looper and bobbin threads can result in a seam that balances strength and softness.
- Alterfil S’s high-tech coating ensures seam stability, while Alterfil C’s softer texture provides a gentle feel, making this combination suitable for garments requiring both durability and comfort.
