 Economy and Size
- Q: I know Sulky is high quality, but I was thinking maybe I should be looking into buying threads on cones now that I'm doing so much embroidery. Would that really be more economical?
- A: For most consumers, buying anything larger than Sulky's 850-yard spool could result in wasteful over-spending because it may take 10 to 20 years to use it all, and lesser quality threads may not remain usable for that long. Over a year and a half ago we began adding an additional 50 yards to our King Size 40 wt spools (now 850 yards) at no extra charge.
- Q: How far does Sulky go?
- A: Industry experts calculate that the average length of each stitch in embroidery designs is 4 to 5 mm. Based on that average, 22 yards of Sulky 40 weight rayon equals about 4,000 stitches. Therefore one 250 yard Sulky spool can create 44,000 stitches, while an 850 yard spool can create 156,000 stitches!
- If you were to buy one each of all 337 Sulky 40 wt. colors on 250 yard spools, you could create fourteen million eight hundred twenty eight thousand (14,828,000) stitches. If you buy one each of all 337 Sulky colors on an 850 yard spool, you could create 52,572,000 stitches.
- Assuming that an average design has 20,000 stitches (most have substantially less), with 337 250-yard spools you could create 741 designs or more than 2 a day everyday for a year. With 337 850-yard spools, you could create 2,629 designs or more than 2 a day everyday for almost 4 years!
- And NOW virtually all the Sulky threads are available on Jumbo Cones!
