Product Details

MH water soluble polyester sewing thread is a 402-spec, 40S/2 count thread engineered to dissolve completely in water, leaving no trace once its temporary stitching job is done.

The thread dissolves at approximately 20°C, so it disappears cleanly during a normal wash or rinse without residue on the finished fabric. Its transparent, natural color keeps basting stitches unobtrusive while sewing, and the polyester base gives it enough tenacity to hold a temporary seam or embroidery backing in place until it is washed away.

These properties make it a practical choice for garment basting, hem and pocket placement, and stabilizing embroidery designs before the water-soluble thread is rinsed out.

Key Selling Points

• Fully dissolves after use: The thread dissolves at around 20°C, removing all temporary stitching cleanly without cutting or picking out seams by hand.

• Unobtrusive transparent color: Its natural, near-clear appearance keeps basting lines discreet on the fabric while the seam is being worked.

• Reliable temporary hold: Standard polyester sewing tenacity lets the thread secure basting stitches and embroidery backing until it is dissolved away.

• Suited to precision tailoring: The water-soluble construction supports hem basting, pocket placement and embroidery stabilizing where a residue-free finish matters.
