Recommended Needle: Universal 80/12 for light–medium fabrics; 90/14 for heavier wovens/denim


Care

  • Machine wash warm/cold, tumble dry low/medium
  • Press as fabric allows; test on scrap for high heat

Why sewists choose Dual Duty XP

Compared to generic all-purpose threads, Dual Duty XP’s core-spun construction provides extra tensile strength while keeping a soft hand. That means fewer snapped threads, cleaner stitches, and consistent results across a wide range of stitch lengths and tensions.


Tip: Match needle size to the fabric weight and test a few stitches on a scrap. If you see looping or thread drag, lower the top tension slightly or step up one needle size.
