The T-18 Black and White
Polyester Hilaza Overlock Sewing Thread is a fine sewing thread intended for compatible industrial overlock and serger machines. It is a practical option for garment production, fabric edge finishing, and textile applications requiring a black thread with a relatively fine thread size.
Designed for use in suitable overlock stitching configurations, this thread can be used to finish fabric edges and construct seams on selected woven and knitted materials.

JMJ Sewing Machines Recommends
JMJ Sewing Machines recommends selecting T-18 overlock thread according to the fabric type, sewing machine configuration, and desired seam finish. Before production, verify the appropriate thread placement and adjust the machine tension to achieve balanced stitch formation.
For garment manufacturing, test the thread on a sample of the intended material. Check seam appearance, thread feeding, and stitch performance before beginning continuous production.
IMPORTANT — THREAD SELECTION & MACHINE COMPATIBILITY
The T-18 Black Polyester Hilaza Thread is intended for compatible overlock and specialty sewing applications.
Thread suitability depends on the sewing machine, needle system, looper configuration, fabric construction, and required seam characteristics.
Not every thread construction is suitable for all needle and looper positions. Confirm the correct threading configuration before use.
