When sewing jeans, the choice of thread is crucial. Denim is a heavy fabric that requires a thread that is both strong and durable, otherwise the seams risk fraying.
Which thread works best for jeans?
For jeans and denim, polyester thread is usually best. It is strong, elastic and can withstand washing and wear. For extra heavy-duty seams, such as in jeans or workwear, Gütermann Extra Stark is recommended, which can withstand high loads and keeps the seams in place for a long time.
