Description
An earthy shade that goes with linen, corduroy and natural colours. Sulky calls the shade “Cloister Brown”, colour number 1131.
Viscose shines softly and warmly, almost like silk. Rayon 40 does not lint, does not shrink and stays colourfast even after hot washes. As viscose stretches less than polyester, stitches hardly pull together and the design stays flat. 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 Black Brown 1131 is suitable for
- decorative stitches on the sewing machine
- free-motion quilting and stitch-in-the-ditch
- area fill stitches where the sheen pays off
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
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.
How should I store the spools?
Upright, dry and out of direct sunlight. Dust on the thread carries lint into the machine, so a closed box is the simplest answer for a larger thread collection.
Viscose or polyester – what is the difference?
Viscose shines more warmly and softly, almost like silk, and stretches less, so it runs more calmly in the machine. Polyester in turn is even more hard-wearing and also tolerates bleach.
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.
