Description
A clean Dark Grey: the thread stays neutral and never pulls the fabric's colour in one direction. The spool carries 820 m. Weight 40 is the usual fineness for machine embroidery, and the colour code reads 1220. Inside a design the thread lies flat and covers the ground reliably.
For embroidering towels, children's clothes and linen: this thread is boil-proof, so a design survives hot washing too. The thread takes strain while staying supple. Exactly that mixture separates a clean design from a restless one.
What Sulky Poly Deco Embroidery Thread 820 m Dark Grey is suitable for
- machine embroidery on cotton, sweat and terry
- decorative stitches on a sewing machine
- 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
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.
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.
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.
How do I hoop the fabric properly?
Taut like a drum skin, but without stretching the cloth. Pull it and you get ripples once it comes out. On stretch material a fusible stabiliser on the reverse helps as well.
