Description
Dark Red is a tone with insistence. On bags and jackets it turns topstitching into a design element. The spool carries 820 m. Weight 40 is the usual fineness for machine embroidery, and the colour code reads 1181. This tone is lightfast, which counts above all on pieces that sit permanently by a window.
Polyester takes colour permanently. On pieces that go into the wash often, that is the decisive advantage over viscose. 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 Red 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
Which needle suits this thread?
An embroidery needle covers most fabrics. It has a larger eye and a slight ball point, so the thread meets less friction and your weave stays undamaged. On dense designs a fresh needle after each larger project pays off.
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.
How far does one spool go?
That depends on your design. A monogram needs a few metres, a densely stitched area many times more. This large spool is sized to survive several projects.
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.
