Description
The tone Steel Grey is among the least conspicuous in the palette. That is exactly why it lives in every sewing box. Weight 40 and 820 m per spool are the figures embroidery machines expect. Note down colour code 1166. Because polyester takes up hardly any moisture, this thread stays supple even in damp rooms.
On terry and sweat this thread adds hardly any bulk while staying clearly visible — exactly what an embroidery thread should do. The material is polyester, the finish smooth and even. Together that gives a thread which lies calmly inside a design and does not fray.
What Sulky Poly Deco Embroidery Thread 820 m Steel Grey is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- appliqué on children's clothes
- embroidery on textiles washed hot
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
How do I set the thread tension?
While embroidering the top tension may sit slightly looser than for sewing. It is right when the reverse shows roughly one third top thread and two thirds bobbin thread.
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.
Which colour should the bobbin thread be?
White under light fabrics, black under dark ones. On sheer material take a look from the right side before stitching: the wrong bobbin thread shimmers through a design.
Does this thread shed lint in the machine?
Polyester sheds hardly any lint, unlike cotton. Even so, dust gathers in the hook area over time. Brushing it out once a month keeps your machine clean.
