Elastic fabrics are on trend. They are comfortable to wear, dimensionally stable and tear-resistant. For outfits made of jersey and stretch, to fit perfectly, they need elastic seams. The Maraflex quality sewing thread is now available for this purpose. It allows for extra stretchiness – and the clothes move with you.

Elastic fabrics on trend
Maraflex is always used in combination as a needle thread and bobbin thread and is sewn with low thread tension. This allows the seam to expand optimally at a later stage. The best seam elasticity is achieved with four stitches per centimetre. With a seam stretch of up to 80 %, this sewing thread is particularly flexible. It is perfect for sewing light to medium-weight knitwear and elastic woven fabrics, such as jersey or fabrics with elastane.
