Nylon thread stands up to heat. It yellows at 300°F and melts at 500°F.
Nylon thread has excellent resistance to mildew, aging, and abrasion.

I got 12,800 yard cone for $8.!! So it was worth trying it out good or bad. I love trying different threads.
Very informative article. I may have to try some. One question I have though, do you happen to know how hot an iron is on cotton heat?
