A&E Maxi Lock Stretch Thread is a soft, wooly textured nylon thread that really covers. It is recommended that you use a size 90/14 needle with this thread. It is oh so soft to the touch, lofty like yarn, but not tacky or clingy. Its great stretch and recovery properties synchronize perfectly with knitted and stretchy fabrics. Producing seams that are smooth and flat, non-irritating to the skin, an ideal choice for lingerie, swimwear, fitness apparel, and under garments. 2000 yards Gold
