Maxi-Lock / Excell All Purpose Thread

Maxi-Lock / Excell All Purpose Thread
Maxi-Lock is an all purpose spun polyester thread used with sergers and sewing machines. It is mainly used for sewing garments such as shirts, slacks, tops, denim jeans, childrens wear, and jackets. It can also be used for quilting and embroidery when a matte-look is desired. Maxi-Lock is a lightweight, Tex 27, thread that comes on 3000-yard cones in 76 colors including four, hard to find, neon shades. It has a soft, cotton-like feel, great colorfastness and durability, and outstanding performance on manual and automatic multi-directional sewing machines and sergers.
It is no secret that American and Efird Excell is the Maxi-Lock commercial twin in economical 6000-yard cones. That is why we show both brands together.
