SERAFLEX is the perfect sewing thread for highly elastic seams. Due to it innovative raw material PTT (37% renewable raw material) an elongation of approx. 65% is achieved, making all seams highly elastic.
SERAFLEX makes especially the straight stitch extremely stretchable, in the best case even a doubling of the seam elasticity can be achieved compared to seams with conventional sewing threads. Due to its extremely elastic properties SERAFLEX is primarily used for clothing, e.g. as sewing thread for sportswear outdoor, women’s, men’s and children’s clothing as well as for lingerie and underwear.
Needle size: Nm 70-80

-SERAFLEX should be used both as a needle and as a bobbin thread -Adjustment of the needle thread tension according to “as much as necessary, as little as possible” i.e. as loose as possible
-The bobbin thread should also be wound with as little thread tension as possible to prevent the thread from stretching beforehand
Purchased this off-white Seraflex thread to make test versions of the Honeygirl Tee by Paradise Patterns in an open-knit cotton waffle fabric. My fabric is white, but not a blue-tinged white. I was unsure whether to go with thread colour "white" or "off-white," but after deliberation, I chose the off-white and it ended up being the perfect match. I also have a more blue-toned white cotton pointelle that I plan to use for this pattern, and I can see that the "off-white" thread is too warm-toned for that fabric -- the "white" thread colour would probably suit that one better. The quality of the thread was awesome. As advertised -- great stretch, even with straight stretch stitch. Super smooth. No issues with nesting or snagging, even when overcasting. Followed instructions and tried to wind bobbin as loosely as possible. Will probably pick up a few more basic colours like black and grey the next time I place an order. I wish Mettler threads were available locally, but will buy from Riverside while I can :)
The Seraflex - Mettler - Stretch thread did a great job in providing stretch in the neckline of two t-shirts I made. I used the thread in the bobbin when I topstitched the neckline. I'll be buying more in a variety of colours to match the neckband ribbing I use.
