Tension and needle choice matter more than with a normal thread, so a test on the real machine is worth doing before a production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThread fails at the needle, not on the garment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReflective thread is stiffer than embroidery cotton, so the practical limits are needle size, stitch density and machine speed. Confirm the settings you intend to run before approving a design - a pattern that sews cleanly in cotton can shred a reflective thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to confirm before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinished diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e made to order from ≥0.5 mm - give the cord or trim size you need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwist and construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e determines how much reflective face stays visible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExposure:\u003c\/strong\u003e state whether the yarn is exposed or enclosed; it decides whether a backing is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReflective layer:\u003c\/strong\u003e silver or high reflective tape, chosen against the brightness you need.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompliance note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo single retroreflective figure is quoted for this build, and a number without its test method and wash cycle would not be comparable anyway.
