Thank you for sharing. I have just purchased this thread from a recommendation from another You Tuber (So Carole) but I haven’t used it yet. I think I’ll go ahead and buy other colors now after watching you. Great information.
I love this thread, I ordered it from WAWAK, and it really stretches. I sewed a very stretchy Lycra knit and hemmed it with a plain straight stitch and there was plenty of stretch with no waving.
This was very useful. I have just bought my first lot of Maraflex thread but was a bit unsure how to use it (ie did it go on the top and bottom bobbin etc). I am just about to make the Marlo cardigan in a pale blue cable knit fabric, so will try out the Maraflex on that. Not only that but I have a much more complicated new sewing machine, so a lot to learn all round!!!! Love your ochre cardigan, neat as a pin. Thank you. Kate
I also keep my Maraflex thread and bobbin together so the bobbins don’t get mixed up with bobbins containing cotton. I use little plastic boxes, glad you found this useful, it’s a real game changer 😊
Just circling back to let you know I just topstitched the Hudson Pants waist band with the maraflex using a straight stitch and setting on 4 and there is no popping whatsoever! The pants look so much nicer with the top stitching and I know the elastic won't roll. It's official - I love this thread!
Hey how awesome this sounds! I'll look to see if we can get it in NZ. I love the sound of using a straight stitch on knits, would make life a whole bunch easier. Thank you.
Hi Catherine, I hope you will be able to source the thread, it’s a game changer. I think other companies manufacture this type of thread such as Mettler with seraflock thread. If you can’t source the thread I would try Amazon. Xx
Hi Mary, I only learned about this thread recently when I visited my local craft shop Hollies Haberdashery and they told me that they had just received stock of it. I love sewing my knits with it, so much better than using zig zag stich xx
I searched for Maraflex in my area last week. I ended up needing to order a few spools online. I look forward to trying it on jersey hems. I love what you are wearing. Is the fabric Nuppu Print from Finland? Very pretty.
I clicked on this video because we have the same name, and I also sew! Lovely video!
Thank you Amanda, I love just not sewing clothes but crafting as well 😊
Love watching your take on the expo thanks

Thank you, I use it for sewing all stretch fabrics ☺️

It’s a game changer for me Amanda, I did not like sewing using the zig zag stitch, I use it all the time now for my knits 😊

Oh brilliant xx
great video, really useful . Could you attach a jersey waistband to a pair of linen trousers using Maraflex..?
@@gopalakrishnanpremalatha7447 I would give it a test run using scrap jersey and waistband but I would of thought so.
Enjoyed the video many thanks
Thank you
Thanks Mandy. Really useful info!
Hi Margaret, Thank you, I forgot to add that it is easier to unpick a seam as well! I do not enjoy unpicking overlocked or zig zagged seams.
Fabulous review! Thankyou I must try some
Thank you Adam, I love sewing with this thread, prefer the straight stiches to zig zag or overlocked.

Thanks for the information on the thread, I always use Guttermann thread I think it is the best. I didn't know about this new thread though.

Do you wind this thread on the bobbin using the sewing machine as you would normal thread?
Yes Cheryl, that is exactly what I did 😀.
Many thanks for asking that, I was looking for the answer to that, I was a bit worried about it.
Sorry Susan, for not explaining, I wind the Maraflex on the bobbin as well 👍

No I bought the fabric from an online shop in the uk called fabric godmother, it is a stretch velvet xx good luck with the Maraflex thread 😊
