Gütermann Maraflex Elastic Thread – 150m – 315 Electric Blue
Inject high-voltage color and high-performance flexibility into your wardrobe with Gütermann Maraflex in 315 Electric Blue. This innovative elastic thread is a game-changer for home sewing, specifically designed to solve the problem of snapping seams in stretch fabrics. With Maraflex, you can sew highly elastic seams using a simple straight stitch on your regular sewing machine, allowing your garments to move, stretch, and recover with total ease.
The 315 Electric Blue is a vibrant, high-saturation cobalt that demands attention. It is the ultimate choice for statement activewear, bright summer jerseys, or adding a bold, sporty contrast to darker navy or black fabrics.
Why Gütermann Maraflex is a Sewing Essential
-
Maximum Seam Elasticity: Engineered with superior elongation properties, this thread expands and retracts alongside your fabric, preventing "popped" seams in high-stress areas.
-
The "Straight-Stitch" Revolution: By using Maraflex in both the needle and the bobbin with low tension, you can achieve a professional, flat stretch finish without a serger or bulky zigzag stitches.
-
Vibrant Cobalt Pigment: Color 315 is a brilliant, energetic blue that maintains its intensity even after frequent washing and heavy use in athletic gear.
-
Micro Core Technology (MCT®): This premium manufacturing process ensures a silk-smooth, lint-free thread that provides beautiful stitch definition and high break-resistance.

Ideal for Technical Fabrics: The perfect partner for light-to-medium weight jersey, Lycra, Spandex, and recycled polyester performance knits.
