NYLON THREAD
Sowers like nylon threed, but here again, a spot of caution is in order. Nylon thread on nylon Ja anc, but if you use it with cotton. linen or any other fabric, remember that that nicely-stitched scam may melt under a very hot iron.
When using nylon thread опя sewing machine, see to it that the needle is suitable-a needle multable for No. 70 or No. 80 thread is appro- priate. And loosen the upper ten- sion of the machine slightly so that It is adjusted to the natural elasticity of nylon thread. When vacationing. nylon wearables, nylon thread and a travel fron should make for easy care of a holiday wardrobe.
SEWING CURTAINS
Use nylon thread when sowing nylon curtains, for any other thread may cause shrinking or puckering of seams. As for removing steins, any ugent that ordinarily removes stains from any dne fabric should work on nylon, too. But, as with other fabrics, it wise to pre-test on an inconspicuous place to check on colour or finish. When
dry- cleaned by a good professional, you may be sure that the result will be perfect for the dry-cleaning industry has worked out the proper formula for care of this fabric.
When it comes to home washing, remember that socks or sweaters of nylon can go right in with the regu Tar wash since they don't requira shaping but will return to their orig- inal dimensions. Hot
water won't harm or make nylon garments stiff. Even those delicate nylon velvets can march into tub or washing ma- chine. If a garment is made of ny lon blended with another fabric, it will be tagged accordingly and there should be washing and cleaning: instructions. Usually, the method of washing is determined by the bra with which the nylon is mixed, whether it be silk, wool, cotton 'or rayon....
When storing nylon articles, wash or clean them and store away in 'a cool, dry place.
