High-end sequin fabric is a dream for the runway but can be a nightmare in the sewing room. At **Yunfan Textile**, we believe our partnership with brands extends beyond the roll of fabric. To help your manufacturing team achieve the best results, we’ve compiled these professional sewing tips.
## 1. Needle Selection
Use a sharp **size 70/10 or 80/12 needle**. If you are sewing through heavy 18mm paillettes, we recommend a titanium-coated needle to resist the heat generated by friction.
## 2. Managing the Seam Allowance
For premium garments, we recommend clearing the sequins from the seam allowance before sewing. While time-consuming, it ensures a flat seam and prevents the "scratchy" feeling on the inside of the garment.
## 3. Tension and Thread
Utilize high-strength polyester thread. Avoid cotton threads which may fray when rubbing against the sharp edges of laser-cut sequins.
