Description
A rich shade that works equally well on white and black. Sulky calls the shade “Lt. Cranberry”, colour number 0607.
The thread is made of viscose and therefore has a warm, silky shine. It does not lint, does not shrink, is boil-proof and colourfast. Viscose stretches less than polyester. That makes the thread pleasantly easy to work in the machine, especially on dense designs. At weight 40 it suits the usual embroidery programmes and decorative stitches.
Tip: with a fine to medium embroidery needle and slightly looser top tension, the stitches come out cleanest.
What Sulky Rayon 40 Embroidery Thread 780 m Dark Red 0607 is suitable for
- lettering and monograms with a sheen
- rolled hems on the overlocker
- fine outlines and details
Sewing tips
- Nadelstärke NM 75–80 verwenden, Universal-, Top-Stitch- oder Sticknadel.
- Die Oberfadenspannung beim Sticken etwas lockerer stellen als beim Nähen.
- Als Unterfaden ein dünnes Untergarn nehmen; ist die Rückseite sichtbar, passt auch Rayon 40 selbst.
- Die Zierstiche der meisten Nähmaschinen sind auf ein Garn der Stärke 40 ausgelegt.
- Stickvlies passend zum Stoff wählen, damit sich das Motiv nicht wellt.
- Farbnummer notieren, dann lässt sich dieselbe Farbe später eindeutig nachbestellen.

Frequently asked questions
Is viscose embroidery thread washable?
Yes, Rayon 40 is boil-proof and colourfast. Embroidered pieces can be washed normally, including towels and children's clothes. Avoid bleach, though, as it attacks the colour.
Can I use Rayon 40 on a sewing machine too?
Yes, the decorative stitches of most sewing machines are set up for a weight 40 thread. The thread also works well for free-motion quilting and for rolled hems on the overlocker.
Which bobbin thread should I use?
For most projects a fine bobbin thread in light or dark to match the fabric. If the reverse stays visible, for example on scarves, Rayon 40 itself can run in the bobbin too.
Which needle suits Rayon 40?
Ideally a universal, top-stitch or embroidery needle in a fine to medium size. A needle that is too fine makes the thread chafe, one that is too thick leaves visible holes in the fabric.
