Variation
Conventional embroidery thread -As you can see from the graph, all other embroidery threads have a product variation of 10%. This large variation results in difficulty controlling thread tension, resulting in excessive thread breakage. In addition, this large variation explains why conventional threads require a tension adjustment when changing colors (a time consuming and frustrating task that results in higher scrap and less efficient production.)
Fil-Tec Glide - With a slight variation of only 3%, Glide will have significantly fewer thread breaks and will not require tension adjustments when changing colors.

Elongation
Fil-Tec’s Glide has much lower stretch than other leading embroidery threads. For example: Glide’s average elongation at break is approximately 18% compared to 25% for conventional embroidery thread. This low stretch means less thread breakage, reduced puckering and elimination of looping.
Advantage of low stretch
Less thread breakage
No more looping and reduced puckering
Consistent tension from color to color |
