Do you know that the motor of an industrial sewing machine can store energy?

If an industrial sewing machine operator is sewing with excessive tension, it can literally stretch the thread as it’s being sewn and weaken the seam, which compromises the integrity of the product that’s being sewn.

If you are breaking in a brand new Class 7 sewing machine, it’s important to oil it correctly while it is still new, during your first months of use. Otherwise, the machine will lock up and stop working properly.

As an industrial thread supplier committed to developing smart, adaptive solutions, we discovered that we needed a versatile twister that could adapt to the requests of our clients across an incredibly vast array of industries.

Polyester is a category of polymers, and all polyesters share certain characteristics however there are some significant differences in physical properties among all the types of multifilament polyester.  Not all polyesters are the same.
