Upper Thread

Good quality is important for embroidery threads so that the embroidery is not affected by thread irregularities or thread breakage.

Embroidery is particularly effective if you use 40wt glossy rayon or polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.

• Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard-wearing, colorfast thread and has a high tensile strength which is suitable for all types of embroidery.
• Rayon is a fine, natural-like fiber with a silky sheen that is suitable for fine embroidery which is not subjected to too much strain.
• Metallic thread is a light to medium-weight thread suitable for special effects in embroidery.
• When working with metallic threads, the automatic bobbin thread cutter should be deactivated. The other thread cutters shouldn't be used either because the knives are likely to wear off very quickly.
• When using metallic threads, the speed and the upper thread tension should be reduced.
