Because the sofa leather is wrapped with a soft sponge, when a person sits on it, the sofa will sag by 5-15 centimeters depending on the hardness of the sofa sponge, so the sewing machine of the sofa must bear huge pressure.

According to the use requirements of the sofa, the threads used to make sofas are mostly Bondi threads, and mainly synthetic fiber materials such as nylon Bondi threads and polyester Bondi threads. No problems with lint or loose strands, and it’s easy to clean.

The elongation of polyester sewing thread is 6-10%; the elongation of nylon sewing thread is 21-30%; the sofa sewn with polyester sewing thread seems to have no problem with the new sofa, but in the process of customer use, Due to insufficient elongation, the leather seams are prone to hard breaks during repeated sitting.
