I wonder if this is just an outgrowth of the fact that most ready to
wear clothing is sewn with Polyester, because of the high speed
utility of such thread. It has a built in stretch factor and lends
itself to high speed commercial sewing. Not sure, but it is probably
cheaper to produce than cotton poly, and might be better for clothing
applications. I use cotton for clothing so I am not one to know much
about this sort of thing. Just thinking out loud.
