Description
Dark Olive sits in the green field and reads strongest beside red — that is the complementary contrast. The spool carries 820 m. Weight 40 is the usual fineness for machine embroidery, and the colour code reads 1176. 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 Dark Olive is suitable for
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
- quilting stitches as a design element
- designs on dark fabrics where the shimmer shows
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.
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.
Which colour do I pick for which design?
Dark tones work on light fabric, light tones on dark. When unsure, lay the thread on the cloth before stitching — every colour looks different on a screen.
