Polyester thread stands up to heat but is not fire retardant. It sticks at 440ºF and melts at 483ºF. Why have an iron hotter then 440 for pressing seams?

If you're pressing it to dry the glue and it's at a high heat, you may have problems with the thread melting or breaking.
I have used miles and miles of Bottom Line and NEVER had it melt. |

Is your statement based on your own personal experience with Bottom Line?

OMgoodness, I just watched the whole video, this method is terrific. I've got to go buy some Elmers and get to binding! Thanks for the heads up. :thumbup:

I stumbled across Sharon Shamber's binding video the same morning I was about to begin binding a sweatshirt jacket for my daughter. It is brilliantly easy and I came out with the finest looking binding I've ever done! I can't address the thread issue, but highly recommend Sharon's video!:)

Went to my sewing room and tried to bread some Bottom Line thread, wow you are right that thread is really strong! Should be great for binding.
