3. Extra strong matching thread – 2 spools (for the overlocker needles), you may also use fine textured Aurora thread
4. Textured thread – 2 spools (for the overlocker loopers)
Attention! We do not recommend using Dor Tak, Ideal thread for this garment, otherwise the stitching lines may break when the leggings are worn.
- overlocker for construction;
- coverstitch / coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem. If such a machine is not available, the garment hem can be finished with a twin needle on the sewing machine with a zigzag function.
Important! For knit projects, we recommend using special sewing needles for knit fabrics (e.g. STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
