loose threads definitely doesn't go with good finishing!
Mark Robertson Jun 26, 2019:
@Marc Vitale That works. You know the context.
Marc Vitale (asker) Jun 26, 2019:
Thank you Mark, I think your suggestion of "loose threads" makes perfect sense in this context, although the word "sem" is clearly missing, so I'm thinking of going with "The finish seemed good, straight seams, no loose threads". What do you think?
Mark Robertson Jun 26, 2019:
@Marc Vitale This is a tricky one. Linhas soltas can mean either loose threads or loose fitting/fit. The former a negative feature, the latter either positive or negative.

Consumir com qualidade, para mim está associado a priorizar:
- tecidos produzidos a partir de fibras naturais, como o algodão, o linho, a seda, a roupa precisa abraçar meu corpo com um toque suave, gostoso.
- acabamento bem feito, costuras retas, sem linhas soltas.
