PTFE THREAD TIP

H

ere's a tip from James Foster (pictured), owner of Heber
Springs Marine Upholstery Inc., in Heber Springs, Ark., on work-

ing with polytetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) thread:
"We always try to put out a product that is going to last as long
as absolutely possible, using the best materials and the best
thread. At one point, we were really wanting to use PTFE thread
but had a challenge using it that took some time to work through.
I found a trick that works on one of my machines. It may not be a
standard remedy, but it really worked for this Consew® 205 noncompound walking foot machine, a normal unit for canvas fabrication.
"Instead of just running the thread in the normal threading pattern
and then through the needle, I loop it around the needle one time
and then through the needle, so it holds the thread tight against the
needle. The machine was skipping stitches quite frequently before I
did that. Now there are no skipped stitches. I tried different tensions
and other remedies, but that completely solved my problem."
