    FAQs

    What is the difference between maraflex and shirring sewing thread?

    The difference is in the level of stretch / elasticity with the shirring sewing thread being much more stretchy. With the shirring thread, the elasticity is so strong that it pulls at the fabric to create a gathered / smock feel.

    In contrast the level of stretch on the maraflex thread is not strong enough to gather the fabric but instead adds flexibility and is ideal when working with a jersey or another fabric with stretch. When working with a fabric with stretch, if your thread does not have sufficient stretch too, it is much more likely to snap when the fabric stretches.
