Needle and machine guidance Match Ticket 120 to a fine garment-sewing setup Coats recommends metric 75 to 90 needles for Astra 120. The final needle system and size still depend on the machine, fabric, number of plies, stitch formation and seam requirement. Suitable operations can include industrial lockstitch, overlock and coverseam garment sewing. Confirm the exact needle system required by your machine before ordering needles. Start within the metric 75 to 90 guide and test on the actual fabric and seam stack. Balance needle and bobbin or looper tensions on representative fabric offcuts. Use a stable cone stand and a clean, smooth thread path. A domestic machine may need an external cone stand and must be tested for correct feeding and tension. Choose the thread for the job: Astra 120 is a fine general garment thread. It is not a substitute for heavy bonded upholstery, leather or marine thread. Use Astra 75 or Astra 30 when a heavier apparel seam or more visible topstitch is required, subject to your machine and material.

What does staple spun polyester mean?Polyester staple fibres are spun together to make a practical sewing thread with a familiar textile-like surface. Astra is not a bonded continuous-filament upholstery thread. What needle should I use?Coats recommends metric 75 to 90 for Astra 120. The correct needle system and exact size depend on the machine, fabric, stitch and seam requirement. Can I use it in a domestic sewing machine?The fine thread size may be suitable for some domestic garment sewing, but a 5000m industrial cone commonly needs an external cone stand. Confirm the machine can feed the cone correctly and test the needle and tension on project fabric. Can I use Astra 120 in an overlocker?It can suit compatible overlock and other garment-sewing operations. Confirm the machine specification, thread path and tension, then test the complete seam before production. Is Astra 120 suitable for upholstery, leather or marine work?No. Astra 120 is a fine garment thread. Choose an appropriately specified heavy industrial thread for upholstery, leather, canvas or exposed marine applications. How do Astra 120, Astra 75 and Astra 30 differ?Astra 120 is the finest of the three. Astra 75 has more body, while Astra 30 is substantially heavier and better suited to compatible denim and visible topstitch work. Will the colour look exactly like it does on my screen?Screen settings, lighting and dye-lot variation can affect appearance.
