Blindstitch hems and breast pocket welt

There are some seams that are at their best when they are not seen at all. If invisible seams are an important feature for you – for example, for blindstitch hems and securing outer breast pocket welt – we recommend using very fine, continuous filament polyester threads: semi- transparent threads that have extremely high colour adaptability, so that you can reduce thread colour changes to a minimum. In general, just four to eight colours are then sufficient. Another benefit of these fine threads is that they have very good sewing properties and do not leave impressions in the fabric, after pressing.
