Description
The tone Light Grey is among the least conspicuous in the palette. That is exactly why it lives in every sewing box. This large 820 m spool copes with densely stitched areas too. Weight 40, colour code 1001. Spools ship singly, so you can top up one specific tone on purpose.
On terry and sweat this thread adds hardly any bulk while staying clearly visible — exactly what an embroidery thread should do. Boil-proof, colourfast, tear-resistant — Poly Deco brings the three qualities an embroidery thread needs on everyday textiles. Before your first design a test piece on the same fabric pays off — then tension and stitch density are right.
What Sulky Poly Deco Embroidery Thread 820 m Light Grey is suitable for
- monograms and lettering
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
- visible topstitching with a shine
Sewing tips
- Für Stickmaschinen die Oberfadenspannung etwas lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Als Unterfaden gehört ein dünnes Untergarn, nicht dasselbe Stickgarn.
- Die Spule so aufstecken, dass der Faden gleichmäßig abläuft — ein Fadennetz verhindert Schlaufen.
- Zu schnelles Sticken lässt den Faden reißen; bei dichten Motiven das Tempo drosseln.
- Stickvlies passend zum Stoff wählen: Die schönste Farbe nützt nichts, wenn sich das Motiv wellt.
- Farbnummer notieren, dann lässt sich dieselbe Farbe später eindeutig nachbestellen.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need stabiliser?
Yes, almost always. Stabiliser holds your fabric steady in the hoop so a design does not distort. Which one depends on the fabric: tear-away for wovens, cut-away for stretch.
Does the sheen survive washing?
Yes. That shimmer arises inside the polyester filament rather than from a coating. So it is lost neither in the wash nor under an iron, as long as your fabric takes the treatment.
May I iron over the embroidery?
Better from the reverse and with a cloth between. Polyester takes heat, but direct heat on the surface flattens the stitches and robs a design of its relief.
How do I hoop the fabric properly?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching the cloth. Pull it and you get ripples once it comes out. On stretch material a fusible stabiliser on the reverse helps as well.
