Uses of Sewing Threads
When you think of sewing thread, you might picture a spool on your domestic sewing machine. But the truth is, threads are the unsung heroes behind everything from durable outdoor gear to elegant embroidery. At Vardhman Australia, we understand the vital role thread plays—and we’ve seen how choosing the right thread transforms a project from ordinary to exceptional.
Why Thread Choice Matters
Thread is quite literally what holds your work together. In industrial settings, threads are chosen for their tensile strength, abrasion resistance, smooth finish, and consistent diameter. For domestic sewing, those same qualities help ensure your seams stay intact, your machine runs smoothly, and the finished product wears well over time.
A rough or uneven thread can cause skipped stitches, breakage, or poor seam integrity. Conversely, the right-thread matched to your material means cleaner results, less waste, and greater confidence in your work.
Common Sewing Thread Uses
Below are some of the most frequent applications for sewing threads—and how Vardhman’s thread ranges support them.
1. Garments & Apparel
For everyday clothing—dresses, shirts, trousers—polyester/cotton (polycotton) thread is a reliable favourite. Its polyester core gives strength; the cotton wrap gives a natural feel. It resists fading, doesn’t shrink, and produces less lint in the machine.
2. Overlocking / Serging
Knits, stretch fabrics and seam finishes often call for overlocking thread. This type of thread is fine, smooth, and designed to run fast and reliably through overlock machines.
3. Heavy-Duty & Industrial Applications
When you’re sewing leather, canvas, upholstery or marine gear, standard thread simply won’t cut it. Bonded polyester and bonded nylon threads are engineered for strength, heat resistance, and minimal fraying—even under high-speed stitching. Their protective coatings help prevent wear and breakdown at stress points.
4. Leather, Saddlery & Hand-Sewn Goods
For hand-sewing leather goods like wallets, belts or saddlery, waxed braided thread is ideal. The wax gives extra grip and durability, while the braided construction increases strength and resists unraveling.
5. Embroidery & Decorative Sewing
Embroidery threads differ from simple sewing threads—they’re made to shine and withstand repeated stitching movements through fabric. They often come in rayon, polyester or silk blends and support intricate detailing.
6. Specialty Applications
Threads are also used in automotive upholstery, luggage & bags, marine sewing, technical textiles, webbing, and more. In each application, the demands vary—UV, water exposure, abrasion or high stress—and thread is selected accordingly.
