Description
Light Grey sits in the achromatic range and lets the fabric's colour go first. 820 m, weight 40, colour code 1002 — printed on the spool so the tone stays findable. 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. This thread comes from Sulky and is built as a polyester machine embroidery thread: smooth, glossy, tear-resistant. It stays colourfast even when a piece is washed hot regularly.
What Sulky Poly Deco Embroidery Thread 820 m Light Grey is suitable for
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
- designs on dark fabrics where the shimmer shows
- labelling bags and gym sacks
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
What do I do when the thread breaks?
Usually your machine runs too fast or the tension is too tight. Slow down, loosen the tension and check whether the thread catches anywhere. A net over the spool keeps the feed even.
Can I sew with it normally?
For decorative seams yes, for load-bearing seams rather not. Embroidery thread is built for sheen and suppleness, not for the tensile strength a structural seam needs over years.
Why does my design ripple?
Usually the stitch count is too dense or stabiliser is missing. Reduce stitch density in your software, add the right stabiliser and hoop the fabric taut but not stretched.
Does this thread suit hand embroidery?
In principle yes, though it is unusual. For hand work people take divisible cotton stranded thread. Machine thread is finer and more slippery, but it shines considerably more.
