Linen Thread

Recommended Posts

I think maybe someone can help me here. I am wanting to run linen thread through my Landis 3. I'm going to run 7 up top and no. 6 below for saddle skirts etc..I'm wondering should I get right twist or left? Does it matter? I plan on using Campbell's wax pot wax but if there is something else I would be willing to try that as well. Any help is much appreciated!

I do not know much about sewing machines so take my input with a grain of salt. The left twist is what I believe is for machine use, but I could be wrong. Hopefully a member with more knowledge will know

There is another topic on here where someone said right-hand twist thread is for curved needle machines, fwiw...

I think all my bonded nylon is left twist. I do have one spool that does not seem to have any twist at all...I need to replace it, but I can't find the same color. :(

All straight needle, single bobbin machines use left twist (Z) thread.

Curved needle sole stitching machines use right twist, as do the right side needles on dual needle, vertical-axis-bobbin machines, if those bobbins rotate in the opposite direction (CCW) to the right hand bobbin. This can lead to confusion.
