Single-Ply vs 3-Ply Threads for Airbags

Airbags are a safety critical product whose manufacturing demands a high quality sewing thread which can withstand demanding sewing conditions and not compromise seam integrity when sewing at high speeds through multiple layers of densely woven fabrics.

Colouring By Numbers

With advances of technology, colour specification has become a precise science by specifying a thread colour quantitatively as a number. It improves the understanding of colour and the colour matching process.

Solving Your Sewing Problems

There can be many reasons behind the problems that arise while sewing and knowing the cause of these problems and a solution for each particular cause is essential. These problems can be minimised by avoiding errors during handing of materials / machines and by following the right working methods.
