Description
The tone Anthracite is among the least conspicuous in the palette. That is exactly why it lives in every sewing box. With 820 m on the spool and weight 40 this thread counts among the generous ones. Colour code 1171 stays the identity of this tone. This tone is lightfast, which counts above all on pieces that sit permanently by a window.
For embroidering towels, children's clothes and linen: this thread is boil-proof, so a design survives hot washing too. This Sulky thread is built to last. Polyester takes colour permanently, and its tear resistance is enough for densely stitched designs.
What Sulky Poly Deco Embroidery Thread 820 m Anthracite is suitable for
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
- 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
Do I need a separate bobbin thread?
Yes. A fine bobbin thread belongs in the case, not this embroidery thread. Otherwise the reverse builds up bulk and your design ripples. Bobbin thread comes in black and white.
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.
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.
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.
