In drier atmospheric conditions the lower static and lower dynamic friction values of Coats Gral™ AS minimise the attraction of down towards the needle, helping to prevent down leakage through needle holes.
The lower dynamic friction values of Coats Gral AS also enhances the uniformity of the stitch formation providing neat, well balanced seams. The reduced frictional values also allow smoother thread pull off through the sewing machine helping to deliver longer lasting seams.
