Textured Over-lock Sewing Thread 150D/1

JOHNSON's China brand Textured Over-lock Sewing Thread 150D/1 are engineered from multiple continuous filaments featuring unique thick-and-thin sections randomly distributed along each filament axis. This specialized texturizing process creates a thread that is exceptionally soft, smooth, and elastic to the touch. Unlike conventional sewing threads, JOHNSON textured polyester threads offer a bulky yet lightweight structure, making them ideal for high-speed overlocking and cover seaming machines.

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern textile manufacturing, the Textured Over-lock Sewing Thread 150D/1 produced by JOHNSON factory deliver consistent stitch formation, reduced thread breakage, and superior seam coverage. Whether you are producing apparel, bags, upholstery, or industrial textiles, JOHNSON textured polyester threads provide the reliability and performance your production line requires.

Technical Characteristics

Filament Structure

Each individual filament in JOHNSON textured polyester thread is produced using advanced air-jet texturizing technology. The random thick-and-thin sections along the filament create a three-dimensional crimp that remains stable under tension. This structure gives the thread a natural "bulk" without increasing weight, allowing it to fill seam grooves effectively and produce smooth, flat seams.

Material Composition

Made from 100% high-quality polyester, our threads exhibit excellent resistance to abrasion, chemicals, UV radiation, and moisture. Polyester's low shrinkage and high melting point (approx. 250°C) ensure that JOHNSON threads maintain their integrity during high-speed sewing and subsequent heat-setting processes.

Key Specifications

  • Available counts: 120D/2, 150D/2, 250D/2, 300D/3, 500D/3, and custom blends
  • Tensile strength: ≥ 3.5 cN/dtex (depending on count)
  • Elongation at break: 20–30%
  • Color fastness: Grade 4–5 (ISO 105)
  • Needle compatibility: Suitable for needles size 75–110

Lubrication & Finish

Our threads are finished with a non-silicone, low-friction lubricant that minimizes heat buildup and needle friction. This finish is compatible with all common sewing machine oils and does not leave sticky residues on fabrics or machine parts.

Performance Advantages

Exceptional Softness & Skin Friendliness

The textured surface of JOHNSON threads eliminates the harsh, wiry feel of regular polyester threads. This makes them perfect for garments that come into direct contact with skin, such as underwear, sportswear, and children's clothing. The soft hand-feel also reduces the risk of chafing or irritation.

High Elasticity & Recovery

The crimped filament structure provides built-in stretch and recovery. When sewn into stretch fabrics like spandex or jersey, JOHNSON textured polyester threads move with the material without breaking or puckering. This elasticity also reduces seam grin (where threads become visible when fabric is stretched).

Durability & Abrasion Resistance

Polyester's inherent strength combined with the textured geometry creates a thread that withstands repeated washing, dry cleaning, and mechanical stress. Seams remain intact even after hundreds of industrial laundry cycles, making JOHNSON threads suitable for workwear, uniforms, and outdoor gear.

Reduced Thread Breakage

The random thick-thin sections act as "stress relief points," dissipating tension spikes during high-speed sewing. This significantly lowers the frequency of thread breaks, reducing machine downtime and increasing productivity.

Wide Range of Applications

Apparel Manufacturing

  • Overlocking (serging): Perfect for edge finishing on T-shirts, jeans, dresses, and lingerie.
  • Cover seaming: Creates flat, comfortable seams on activewear, leggings, and seamless garments.
  • Decorative stitching: The slight sheen and soft texture enhance topstitching on jackets and bags.

Bags & Luggage

JOHNSON Textured Over-lock Sewing Thread 150D/1 are strong enough for heavy-duty bag seams yet soft enough to avoid damaging delicate linings. They resist fraying on webbing and handle attachments.

Upholstery & Home Textiles

From sofa covers to curtains, our threads provide colorfastness and resistance to sunlight degradation. The elastic nature accommodates cushion compression without seam rupture.

Industrial Textiles

Used in filter bags, safety harnesses, and automotive interiors, JOHNSON Textured Over-lock Sewing Thread 150D/1 deliver consistent performance under high tension and temperature variations.

Footwear & Leather Goods

The smooth finish prevents needle burning on synthetic leathers, while the bulk fills stitch holes for a professional appearance.

Packaging & Storage Recommendations

  • Standard package: 250g net weight cones in heat-sealed polybags, packed in export-grade cartons (24 cones/carton).
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Recommended temperature 15–30°C, humidity 40–70%.
  • Shelf life: 5 years when stored properly (polyester does not degrade over time under normal conditions).

Environmental Commitment

JOHNSON brand is committed to sustainable manufacturing. Our factory uses:

  • Waste heat recovery systems on texturizing machines
  • Waterless dyeing technology for selected colors (reduces water consumption by 90%)
  • Recycled polyester options – available upon request

We actively work to reduce our carbon footprint while delivering premium-quality textured polyester threads.
