Embroidery Threads
One of the most important elements in successful embroidery is the
quality of the thread. We strongly recommend that you purchase
thread from a reputable dealer in order to avoid irregularities, thread
breakage, etc. which so often occur with poor quality threads.
Embroidery is particularly effective if you use glossy rayon or
polyester embroidery threads as upper threads. They are available in
a wide range of colors for beautiful embroidery.
Polyester Threads
Polyester with a brilliant sheen is a hard wearing colorfast thread
and has a high tensile strength. It is suitable for all types of
embroidery, especially children’s clothing and items which will be
washed often or subject to much wear and tear.
Rayon Threads
Rayon is a soft viscose fiber with a brilliant sheen and suitable for
fine, delicate embroidery, or items that will not receive excessive
wear and tear.
Metallic Wrapped Polyester Thread (= Metallic Thread)
Metallic thread is a light- to mediumweight thread suitable for
special effects in embroidery.
Preferably use with a Metafil 130/705 H-MET needle or Organ
needle of varying sizes.
Note:
• For metallic thread it is highly recommended to use the extra
spool pin (see Page 8) and the Spool Net. Even better results can
be achieved by using the optional Multi Spool Holder.
• The automatic thread cutter should not be used with metallic
thread. Refer to page 37 to see how to disable the thread cutter
temporarily by the use of the Metallic Thread key.
Bobbin Threads
Bobbin-Fil (Special Bobbin Thread)
Bobbin-Fil is an especially soft and light polyester thread suitable for
bobbin thread. This special bobbin thread ensures a steady thread
tension and an optimal intertwining of the upper and bobbin
thread.
Darning and Embroidery Thread
Fine mercerized cotton thread suitable for embroidery (Mettler 60
weight suggested), which is embroidered on cotton fabric.
