UXBRIDGE, England – Coats Group plc, one of the world’s leading industrial thread and consumer textile crafts business, is launching Secura, a fusible thread that helps secure buttons and other decorative applications such as sequins and beads. Its enhanced fixing security is of particular benefit for buttons used in children’s wear.

 

The bonding properties of the thread are heat activated, by steam or iron, which forms a durable bond between the stitches. This helps increase security by preventing the stitch from unraveling and also provides a cleaner finished appearance to the final garment than standard sewing threads as loose ends can be sealed using the same method.

 

“Secura has been developed in response to feedback from our customers looking for ways to reduce returns of garments due to buttons, beads or sequins coming loose,” said Rajiv Sharma, CEO, Industrial, Coats Group. “Using Secura helps increase their confidence that buttons and decorative attachments will remain in place, as well as improving the appearance of the final garment.”
