*Synthetic threads are recommended for ordinary overlocking. Polyester thread, for example, is very
useful for different types of fabric.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the lower and upper loopers will use about twice the amount of thread as the
needles. When purchasing thread for sewing, therefore, especially if it is an unusual colour, you
should buy sufficient for your requirements.
