Gutermann Maraflex Elastic Stretch Sewing Thread 112 - 150 Metres - each

From Gutermann, Maraflex is an elastic stretch sewing thread designed for flexible seams using a straight stitch, delivering up to 80% seam stretch when sewn correctly. Ideal for dressmaking, it’s a practical choice for close-fitting seams and areas that need added give, including necklines, tight seams, and sleeve and leg cuffs.

Produced using MCT (micro core technology), Maraflex is made from 100% polyester and is recommended for light to mediumweight knitwear such as jersey, as well as light to medium weight elastic woven fabrics and fabrics containing elastane. For best results, sew with as little thread tension as possible and use it as both needle and bobbin thread; Gutermann recommends 4 stitch/cm for optimal seam elasticity.
