Now colored sewing thread of Dacron is to be available to those who sew at home says Helen Rccke, extension clothing specialist of the College of Agriculture. Laboratory tests and home sewing tests indicate that it is satisfactory for sewing, fabrics of the newer man-made fabrics like Dacron and Orion, nylon, as well as rayon acetate, wool and silk. The manufacturers rec ommend it especially for tricot jersey and sheer fabrics made from these fibers. One important thing to re--member when using these threads of man-made fibers is sensitiveness to high tempera tures, so they should never be used for stitching seams of a ! fabric that would be pressed or ironed at a high temperature. In pressing seams stitched with Dacron thread, the temperature j j of the iron should, be the same ' I as required for pressing fabrics i made of the same fiber. l For best performance in sew- j ing with this new thread, the i manufacturer suggests using a j - ' - , . felt pad oh the spool pin of the vWWAAAWwW uii tuc uui w i iii tilt; nuviiu i side up.
