Many customers use the same thread for buttonsew as they do for general seaming. In some cases, they may go up a size. For example, Go from a T-24 PW Core to T-40 PW Core to minimize button thread failure. If button unraveling is a problem, we suggest using a lockstitch buttonsew attach, as compared to a single thread buttonsew attach. |
