Description SKU AU00136N AVERAGE WEIGHT OF EACH CANISTER IS 1.5 POUNDS PRICE REFLECT THIS WEIGHT. Upholstery: Its strength and clear nature make it ideal for sewing upholstery fabrics where you want the stitching to be strong and blend in, especially on patterned or multi-colored upholstery. Draperies/Curtains: For hemming and constructing heavy drapes or curtains, providing strong, invisible seams. Leather and Vinyl: Suitable for sewing various leather and vinyl projects where durability and discreet stitching are desired. Heavy-Duty Appliqué and Quilting: .011″ thread can be used for more robust appliqué on heavier fabrics or for quilting projects where a stronger, more substantial invisible stitch is needed. Banners and Flags: Its strength and weather resistance (if it’s polyester monofilament) make it suitable for constructing outdoor items like banners. Decorative Crafts requiring strength: For crafts where you need a strong, clear line that can withstand more stress than very fine threads, but still want it to be as unnoticeable as possible. Industrial Sewing Applications: Many industrial sewing machines can handle this thickness for various manufacturing needs where invisible, strong seams are required. Diameter: 0.011 inches (approximately 0.28 mm). This is a moderately thick monofilament thread. Strength: Significantly stronger than finer monofilament threads. Visibility: Still clear and intended to be “invisible,” but due to its greater thickness, it might be slightly more noticeable than much finer threads on very delicate or sheer fabrics. Material: Typically made from nylon or polyester. Polyester offers better UV and heat resistance, making it better for outdoor or high-heat applications. Machine Compatibility: While finer monofilament threads (like 0.004″) are generally better for home sewing machines, a .011″ thread often requires a heavier-duty home machine or, more commonly, commercial/industrial sewing machines and appropriate larger needles (e.g., size 110/18 to 120/19). Price varies depending on the weight.
