TWO BRAND NEW SULKY STABILIZERS!
(08/20/10)
TWO BRAND NEW SULKY STABILIZERS!
Sulky has introduced 2 new stabilizers since we published the hugely
popular, An Updated Supplement to Sulky's Secrets to Successful
Stabilizing - Book 900B-17, and a total of 11 new stabilizers since we
published, Sulky Secrets to Successful Stabilizing - Book #900B-11.
New! Sulky Soft 'n Sheer Extra™ Iron-on, Cut-Away Stabilizer
(08/20/10)
Sulky Soft 'n Sheer Extra is 1-1/2 times as heavy as original Soft 'n
Sheer with the added convenience of having a fusible, iron-on coating.
This time-saving, mid-weight, cut-away is the perfect choice when you
want a cut-away that is a little heavier than Soft 'n Sheer, but not as
heavy as Cut-Away Plus. Iron it onto the wrong side of your fabric, using
a low temperature of about 260¼. This makes it perfect for more delicate
fabrics that don't like high heat. On mid-weight knits, use one layer of
Soft 'n Sheer Extra rather than two layers of the original Soft 'n Sheer.
And since you iron it on, your fabric will not distort when you hoop it.
It is also a wonderful backing for embellishing pillow tops, and as an
interfacing in garments that you simply want to remain cool and light.
When we don't want fleece or batting in a quilted garment, this is the
perfect alternative.
New! Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy™ Water Soluble and NOW Printable Stabilizer
(08/20/10)
Sticky Fabri-Solvy works just the same as Fabri-Solvy only it has a wonderful self-stick
back, which is accessed by removing a release sheet. It's like magic for turned appliqués: Stitch it, turn it, and stick it. It holds items in place for hoopless and reversible embroidery. Ideal for accurate placement of loose items when making scarves or thread collages. Photocopy your designs onto it, then peel off the release sheet and stick the design in place for hand embroidery, appliqué, needlepunch, machine and hand
quilting. With no paper component, it washes away quickly and completely every time!
For your photocopying convenience, it also comes in 8-1/2" x 11" sheets.
NEW!! SULKY 60 wt. PolyLite™ Thread
(08/20/10)
Quilters love new Sulky PolyLite because it flows like butter through a long-arm or domestic sewing machine with virtually no tension adjustments needed. Perfect for micro-stippling or fine detail quilting and more accurate piecing. Predictable one-inch color changes in the multi-colors add interest and "forgiveness" to your quilting. Can be used top and bobbin for less frequent bobbin changes. Nearly invisible on bindings and stitching in the ditch. It's the perfect companion bobbin thread for Sulky Metallics, Rayons and Invisible Threads.
The ideal thread for heirloom sewing, nearly invisible hand or machine appliqué, wing-needle work, exquisite fine thread lace, trapunto and more. Doesn't shrink, fray or break easily. Creates delicate decorative stitches, and crisp, readable lettering. It looks and feels like silk, but it is stronger and less expensive.
A size 10/70 or 11/75 machine needle is recommended. It is colorfast, bleachable, and both washable and dry cleanable.
Available in 36 solid and 24 multi-colors:
440 yd. solid color, small snap-spools: $3.99 sugg. retail
1,650 yd. Maxi-spools $7.49 sugg. retail
Multi-colors: $4.99 and $11.99 respectively, sugg. retail
Sulky C0-Sponsors The Hoffman 2011 Challenge
(08/20/10)
Once again this year, we will be co-sponsoring the Hoffman 2011 Challenge. Take a look at these beautiful Challenge Fabrics.
As most of you know, we discontinued the Sulky Challenge several years ago mostly as a result of the direct hit that our Florida facility took from Hurricane Charley. We are really delighted that Sulky is now co-sponsoring the prestigious Hoffman Challenge, which has a long, rich history of encouraging and rewarding creativity.
Since numerous past entrees in the Hoffman Challenge have featured extensive and often-dramatic uses of Sulky Decorative Rayon, Metallic and Cotton Threads, we love being able to co-sponsor this Challenge so that we can acknowledge and reward the best of future entrants who use Sulky Products.
Consumers know they can Quilt with Confidence with Hoffman Fabrics and "Create with Confidence" with Sulky Products. Now, they can do it all in one big contest. Go to hoffmanchallenge.com to see the 2010 winners and get your entry form for the 2011 Challenge.
