€27.00per piece
Unit price €0.00 / m · incl. VAT, plus shipping
Bobby Syn is the bobbin thread from Gunold: fine polyester in weight 130 on large spools. It runs as the lower thread in the embroidery machine and adds almost nothing — which is what keeps the reverse of the work flat.

About this range
Bobby Syn ist das Untergarn von Gunold: dünnes Polyester in der Stärke 130 auf Großspulen mit 15.000 Metern. Es läuft als Unterfaden in der Stickmaschine und trägt dort kaum auf — genau das ist seine Aufgabe, damit die Rückseite der Stickerei flach bleibt.
Sewing tips
- Nur als Unterfaden verwenden, nicht als Oberfaden.
- Schwarz unter dunklen Stoffen, Weiß unter hellen — der Unterfaden schimmert sonst durch.
- Die Spulenspannung passend zum dünnen Garn einstellen.
- Eine Großspule reicht über viele Projekte; ein Netz hält den Ablauf ruhig.
- Bei durchscheinenden Stoffen die Unterfadenfarbe bewusst wählen.
An embroidery machine runs two threads: the embroidery thread on top, the bobbin thread below. What you see is the upper thread; what carries the embroidery is how the two work together. A bobbin thread that is too thick pushes through and makes the reverse hard.
Bobby Syn is kept fine for that reason. It adds little bulk, so the reverse stays flat and the design sits cleanly in the fabric. The large spools last across many designs — which spares you a change in the middle of the work.
Choose the colour to match the fabric, not the design: black under dark fabrics, white under light ones. Otherwise the bobbin thread shows at the edges, especially under dense satin stitches.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use bobbin thread as the upper thread?
No. It is finer and twisted differently from embroidery thread, and it breaks under the load the upper thread carries. It would not look right either — it is built to stay unseen, not to shine.
White or black?
Follow the fabric, not the thread. White under light fabrics, black under dark ones. The bobbin thread always pulls up slightly at the edges, and a wrong choice shows there immediately.
Why are large spools worth it?
Because changing a bobbin mid-design always leaves a mark. The longer a spool lasts, the more rarely that happens — across a day of many designs it makes a noticeable difference.
